Chapter 26: The Way to Compromise
"General Xu, what does this mean?" In Linrong City, Huangfu Jianshou looked at Xu Huang with an ugly face, and the two Xu Huang guards cut him back, although Huangfu Jianshou also has some skills, but Xu Huang's personal guards are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their strength is strong, where can they earn it?
looked at Xu Huang with some resentment, if it weren't for Xu Huang's sudden move, he would not have been captured so easily, this Linrong City, but the territory of his Huangfu's family, three thousand families will be on the side, but his young general was captured alive at the door of his house, and it was a bit embarrassing to say it.
Xu Huang didn't pay attention to Huangfu Jianshou, but swept his eyes around and surrounded them, looked at their Linrong guards with fierce eyes, snorted coldly, and said loudly: "I am Your Majesty's Qinfeng Hun Zhonglang General, in Hetao, all soldiers are under my jurisdiction, who are you who want to rebel?" ”
When the Linrong guards heard this, they did not react in the slightest, they were the private soldiers of the Huangfu family, and they only listened to the dispatch of the Huangfu family, even if Xu Huang was a general who protected the Huns, what could he do?
Huangfu Jianshou heard this, but his face changed greatly, this crime, his Huangfu family could not afford it, and said in a deep voice: "What does General Xu mean by this?" These people are all the private soldiers of my emperor's family! My Huangfu's family is a dignified Xiliang family, what is wrong with raising some private soldiers? ”
"Private soldiers?" Xu Huang already understood in his heart why His Majesty wanted to replace Huangfu Song, and said coldly: "Wearing the military uniform of my Han army and holding the weapons allocated by the imperial court to the border army, the ability of the Huangfu family to fill his private pockets is really beyond the reach of the general." ”
"Xu Huang, you don't want to spray people with blood, my father's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon!" Huangfu Jianshou's face changed, and he shouted loudly.
"Really?" Xu Huang sneered: "The private soldiers of your Huangfu family dare to openly point their weapons at the generals of the DPRK, this loyalty is indeed visible to the sun and the moon, but unfortunately the weather is not very good, and the sun and the moon cannot be seen." ”
"Hmph, you suddenly got into trouble, do you know if you have bad intentions?" Huangfu Jianshou said with a stiff neck.
"Shoot the arrows!" Xu Huang snorted coldly, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Huangfu Jianshou, according to the regulations of the imperial court, although the family is allowed to raise soldiers, the public and private must be separated, and the county lieutenant of a county, the captain of the tiger and the court lieutenant are all directly appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, and he has been in the city for a quarter of an hour, but he has not seen the people of the three departments, I am afraid that these three departments have existed in name only.
Xu Huang, as a general who protects the Huns, has no right to intervene in county affairs on weekdays, but he didn't expect the Huangfu family to be so rampant that he directly abolished the three departments of Linrong.
"Huh~" One of the accompanying guards quickly bent his bow and shot an arrow into the void.
Huangfu Jianshou looked at Xu Huang with a gloomy face, squinted his eyes and said: "Brother Gongming, don't force people too much, you are a Xiongnu general, and you have no right to intervene in political affairs!" Beware of your father's visit to Your Majesty! ”
"Join me?" Xu Huang sneered when he heard this: "This general is here to follow His Majesty's edict, otherwise how can the border army be mobilized?" ”
What the!?
Huangfu insisted on hearing the words, but he was panicked in his heart, his own family knew his own affairs, and many of the things that their father and son did in Hetao were in violation of the imperial court decrees, could it be that His Majesty had already noticed it?
"General Xu!" At this moment, Huang Fu Song hurriedly came over with a group of generals in the distance, looking at Huang Fu Jianshou, who was captured by Xu Huang's personal guards, Huang Fu Song looked at Xu Huang with a somewhat gloomy face: "What does General Xu mean?" ”
"By order of His Majesty!" Xu Huang turned his head and glanced at Li Yan, Li Yan stood up with a smile, took out an edict, and said with a smile: "When the edict arrives, General Huangfu will be promoted to the rank of lieutenant. ”
Huangfu Song's face changed, he didn't want to return to the dynasty, he knew very well what he was going to face after returning to the dynasty, he left the court at the beginning, just to avoid being involved in this whirlpool, and judging from Yang Biao's letters, the family was brewing something big recently, he really didn't want to be involved, but it seemed that the Son of Heaven seemed to have noticed something, so he would recruit him back to the court at this time.
Looking at the edict in Li Yan's hand, a fierce light flashed in Huangfu Song's eyes.
"Everyone, lay down your arms and surrender at once!" At this moment, a young general suddenly rushed into the city with a large number of officers and soldiers, without superfluous words, quickly occupied the city gate and city wall, and set up crossbow arrows on the head of the city, with a cold edge, locking the private army of the Huangfu family who was still surrounding Xu Huang in the city.
"This ......" Huangfu Song looked at Xu Huang with an ugly face: "General Xu, what does this mean?" ”
"Taiwei Mingjian, these soldiers in the city are not soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but they are holding imperial court weapons, wearing imperial court armor, and pretending to be imperial court troops, this is ...... But a felony! Xu Huang looked at Huangfu Song coldly: "Although the last general has no right to intervene in political affairs, but the garrisons of all counties in the Hetao are controlled by the last general, and now there are a large number of troops outside the imperial court establishment, the last general has reason to suspect that someone is planning a rebellion and must be arrested, and those who disobey should be killed!" ”
"These ...... It's my Emperor's private army! Bodyguard! Huangfu Song gritted his teeth and said.
"The number is too large, and what right do these private soldiers have to enforce the law, as the general has seen along the way, these people not only openly collect city gate taxes, but also vainly try to replace the responsibilities of the court lieutenant and the tiger guard, what is the explanation for this?" Xu Huang said coldly.
This......
Huangfu Song was speechless, looking at the border army that had quickly occupied various important places and drove Huangfu's private army down from the city wall, Huangfu Song did not dare to answer, at this time, if he said the wrong word, even if Xu Huang couldn't kill him, there was no problem in killing Huangfu Jianshou.
Xu Huang swept his eyes and snorted coldly: "If you don't put down your weapons for me, you really can't put down the laws of the imperial court, and if there are stubborn people, they will be killed!" ”
"No mercy!" On the city wall, Hao Zhao raised the war knife in his hand and shouted.
"No mercy!" "No mercy!"
A famous border soldier raised his sword, gun, sword and halberd in his hand, and the loud voice converged into a wave of sound over the entire Linrong City, soaring into the sky.
Although Huangfu Song is also good at using soldiers and training, he does not dare to openly train soldiers, these private troops of the Huangfu family, regardless of their mental outlook or morale, can they be compared to the real swords and well-trained border troops on these battlefields, but this wave of sound makes them breathless.
"Dangchang~"
A private soldier of the Huangfu family threw down his weapon, held his head in both hands, knelt on the ground, and chose to give up resistance, after all, he defected to the Huangfu family, and he also took a fancy to the energy of the Huangfu family, hoping to be blessed by the Huangfu family here, but after joining for two years, how much sense of belonging can they have, and they want them to fight with these court elites for the Huangfu family, they are unwilling.
As someone took the lead, more people threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to ask for surrender, and the faces of Huangfu Song's father and son became even more ugly, which means that his Huangfu family's business in the Hetao for several years will disappear today.
"Hao Zhao!" Xu Huang saw that these private soldiers were subdued, and shouted loudly.
"The last general!" The young general who had led the army into the city before patted his horse and came to Xu Huang's side.
"Send all these people to Jilu Village, transfer another 500 men and horses, maintain the defense of Linrong, and promote a county lieutenant, and later, this general will ask the court for orders, and Linrong will reorganize the court lieutenant and the two departments of Huben." Xu Huang said coldly.
Huang Fu Song felt the corners of his mouth a little astringent, at this moment, he somewhat understood why Yang Biao was so crazy, Huang Fu's family has been operating in Linrong for several years, but Liu Xie only needs one sentence to make the years of work disappear, this time, he really felt how terrifying the status of the family was exploited by Liu Xie, if in the past, Huang Fu Song's behavior was not a fault at all, although the law is limited, but most of the time, the emperor is blind to one eye, and has never been so dead to the law as now.
"Whoa!" Hao Zhao couldn't understand Huangfu Song's complicated feelings, and after quickly agreeing, he began to direct his men to find ropes in the city, tie up these people five or ten, and rush out of the city.
"The matter has been understood, can you let me go?" Huangfu Song said with a gloomy face: "The old man is old, and this time he enters the court, he still needs his beloved son to take care of him, and I hope the general will be considerate." ”
When Xu Huang heard this, he was about to answer, but he saw that Li Yan had already taken the first step and smiled: "Forgive me, the old general, Your Majesty has been famous for a long time, and this time I came to take office and asked Your Majesty for a master book, Your Majesty has already taken the Huangfu Jianshou point as the main book, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany the Taiwei back to the court." ”
"Who are you? When will it be your turn to speak here!? Huang Fu Song was furious when he heard this, he looked at this young man very unpleasantly at the beginning, obviously he was just a junior, but there was no one in his eyes, it was really annoying, at this moment, he actually wanted to detain Huang Fu Jianshou, how could Huang Fu Song endure it?
"Nanyang Li Yan, this time he was appointed by His Majesty to take over the post of Taishou of Hetao, as evidenced by the edict, and the appointment of Brother Jianshou is also here, and the Taiwei can check it." Li Yan smiled.
Huangfu Song took the edict in a daze, and unfolded the edict with an ugly face, the edict was written in the same way as what Li Yan said, and he smiled miserably in his heart, His Majesty did not leave himself a way to live, saying that he would stay as the main book, but in fact, Huangfu Song knew very well that this was Liu Xie's leaving Huangfu Jianshou in the Hetao as a proton.
This time when he entered the dynasty, he would inevitably be involved in the war between the imperial power and the family, and Liu Xie was forcing himself to stand in line! And I have a superfluous choice at all~
"That's it~" After a long time, Huangfu Song seemed to be a few years older in an instant, and sighed and said: "The old minister will set off and go to Luoyang." ”
He chose to compromise again, Dong Zhuo was in power at the beginning, humiliated Huang Fu Song several times, and even humiliated his uncle Huang Fu Gui's widow to death, Huang Fu Song has been holding back, did not make a sound, and now in the face of Liu Xie, who is in power, Huang Fu Song still chose to compromise, the family and the country, Huang Fu Song must put the family first, the country is at home, how can other families not be the country?
"Captain walk slowly." Li Yan bowed slightly, and after Huangfu Song left, he immediately ordered someone to put Huangfu Jianshou under house arrest.
