Chapter 073: Rushing to the aid of Chang'an
After Chen Qun came back to his senses, he muttered, "Emperor Ling, what's wrong? Why is it so biased in favor of the Ten Permanent Servants? What benefits can the Ten Permanent Servants bring him? ”
Chen Qun couldn't understand why Emperor Ling was so partial to the Ten Standing Attendants, he quickly connected with Lu Zhi and the four of them, and said in a deep voice: "Han Gong and Ziqi have an accident, during this time, don't fight with the Ten Standing Servants anymore, rest for a while." In addition, everyone went to the funerals of Han Gong and Ziqi, but everyone should not get too close, so as not to be noticed by the people of the Ten Standing Attendants. ”
"Got it!" Lu Zhi and the four of them said one after another.
Chen Qun nodded: "Hang up!" ”
Chen Qun was the first to hang up, but interrupted the words of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the two originally wanted to tell Chen Qun that Zhang Rang asked them for 500 gold each, but the two saw that Chen Qun was in a bad mood, so they didn't say anything. It was decided to directly reject Zhang Rang's rude request. For this reason, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun offended Zhang Rang.
Chen Tan and Liu Tao's funerals were staggered by one day, Chen Tan was in front, Liu Tao was behind, because they were both famous celebrities in China, so their funerals were very grand, and many families sent people to attend their funerals. Zhang Rang and the others didn't make trouble at the funeral of the two.
At the beginning of April of the second year of Zhongping, Guan Yu and Chen Zhi returned successively, and Guan 13 of Si Li's subordinates handed back 550 gold of profits to Chen Qun, Yanzhou returned 100 gold of profits, Yuzhou returned 150 gold of profits, Qingzhou returned 50 gold of profits, and the rest of the states did not return profits, but except for Jiaozhou, all states sent back a variety of cotton or silk.
Chen Qun felt that he was rich again all of a sudden, because the gold on his body reached 1,000 gold, which made Chen Qun's sad mood better.
At the same time, the commanders of the guards in each state sent people back to the recent major events in the states, especially in Liangzhou, Chen Qunde reported that Huang Fu Song and Dong Zhuo's war against Beigong Boyu was not going well, and he couldn't help but be faintly worried, he decided to personally take people to Chang'an to support Huang Fu Song, he absolutely could no longer tolerate Huang Fu Song's accident.
Wei Da in Xuzhou sent someone to inform Chen Qun that he had recruited 3,000 Danyang guards, all of whom were between the ages of twenty and thirty, and told Chen Qun that there was no need to send him any more gold, and Guan 18 had already provided him with a recruitment fee of seventy gold.
Chen Qun sorted out all the news and handed it over to Xu Shu 500 gold, handed over the operation of Shaomu Mountain City to Xu Shu to take care of, handed over the defense task of the mountain city to Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and took Huang Zhong, Chen Zhi and Hua Da and other seven female guards and 3,300 Chen Jiawei to Chang'an to support Huangfu Song.
Chen Qun first led the team to fifteen miles outside Luoyang City, and then took Chen Zhi into Luoyang, and after getting the troop transfer order from Zhang Yan, he took 3,300 Chen Jiawei straight to Tongguan.
Along the way, Chen Qun and his entourage had a transfer order issued by the Ministry of War, and did not encounter any obstacles, until they got out of Tongguan, Chen Qun saw that everywhere they passed along the way, there was a barren scene, Chen Qun had an intuitive impression of the rebellion in the Sanfu area, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.
Chen Qun and his entourage all rode war horses, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, after they came to the outside of Chang'an City, the soldiers guarding the city mistakenly thought that the Qiang Hu soldiers had come over, which made the city head nervous, but fortunately, after Chen Qun took out the transfer order issued by the Ministry of War, the captain of the city head carefully checked it before letting them wait outside the city.
After Huangfu Song in Chang'an City reported that more than 3,000 archers came from the pass to support, the puzzled Huangfu Song personally came to the city to check, and when he saw that it was Chen Qun and Chen Jiawei, Huangfu Song hurriedly took hundreds of guards out of the city to greet Chen Qun in person: "Changwen, why did you come over without even saying hello!" ”
After Chen Qun dismounted, he looked at Huangfu Song and said, "Uncle, it feels really good to be able to see you with my own eyes!" If I send to tell you, will you still let me come? I'm afraid that few people in the Central Plains know that the situation in Chang'an is so grim! ”
Huangfu Song nodded: "Everyone in the Qianghu tribe is good at riding and shooting, and it is difficult for our army to take advantage of the other party's battle, but it has lost a lot of manpower. Moreover, most of the Tanma sent out were killed by the Tanma of the Qianghu tribe, so we can't find where Beigong Boyu's main force is now, this battle is too passive! ”
Chen Qun frowned when he heard this: "Uncle, didn't you send some masters to investigate?" No matter how powerful the Qianghu cavalry archers are, they shouldn't be the opponents of our Han masters, right? ”
Huangfu Song shook his head: "Let's go, let's go to the city first, the brothers have tired all the way, come into the city to rest!" Seriously, the arrival of your new force has really added a lot of help to our army! I believe that you will be able to teach the Qianghu archers a hard lesson, so that they will not dare to be so unscrupulous again. ”
Chen Qun nodded and clenched his fists and said, "Please rest assured, uncle!" Chan Kar-wai will certainly not disappoint his uncle. ”
"Hahaha......! Good! I believe in Chan Kar Wai's abilities! Let's go, go into the city and rest! Huang Fu Song took the initiative to make his debut for Chen Kar Wai, but the generals who came out with Huang Fu Song shook their heads, and everyone didn't think that Chen Kar Wei could defeat the archers of the Qianghu tribe.
Huang Fu Song's current subordinates are no longer the soldiers who fought in Jizhou, so everyone doesn't know Chen Kar Wei's combat power, so they think so, and Chen Kar Wei's performance will disappoint Chen Qun and Huang Fu Song?
After Chen Qun took Chen Jiawei into Chang'an City, he saw that Chang'an City was full of refugees, and many people were so hungry that they were curled up in a ball, Chen Qun frowned when he saw this: "Uncle, why don't you send someone to cook porridge for the victims to drink?" ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song frowned and said: "Changwen, the war has been going on until now, where is there so much food in Chang'an City?" The daily consumption of 50,000 troops is a terrifying number, even if my uncle wants to help the victims, he is powerless! ”
Hearing this, Chen Qun frowned and said, "Uncle, doesn't Your Majesty even send food here?" ”
Huangfu Song shook his head: "This is not it, it's just that this grain road is very unsafe, and there have been four waves of grain delivery teams that have been robbed by the Qianghu people, so my uncle doesn't dare to use up the food in the city." Not to mention the victims and the people in the city, even the army is in danger! If it weren't for your arrival, I would have thought that the passage to the Guannai would have been cut off by the Qianghu people. ”
Chen Qun glared when he heard this: "Uncle, I didn't expect the Qianghu Clan archers to be so powerful!" Uncle, you quickly applied to Luoyang for military rations, and when the military rations arrived in Tongguan, my nephew personally took Chen Jiawei to escort them, and asked my uncle to open the warehouse immediately to cook porridge, so that the victims could no longer starve! ”
Huangfu Song looked at Chen Qun's serious expression and nodded, "Okay!" I'll arrange it right away! Changwen, it's really convenient for us to contact Luoyang now! Hey!
And you don't know, every time I asked for grain to be transported, I sent troops to Tongguan to respond, but the army sent to Tongguan was fine, but once I got out of Tongguan, I was always attacked, so this will happen. It's good that you're here now, at least my uncle doesn't have to worry about the lack of food. ”
Chen Qun nodded: "Uncle, please rest assured, the grain road will be handed over to my nephew, and my nephew will definitely teach those Qianghu archers a profound lesson." ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song laughed and said, "Okay! That's it! Come and open a warehouse to cook porridge to relieve the victims. ”
The general behind Huangfu Song clasped his fists and whispered when he heard this: "General, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?" ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song said angrily: "General Chang, what do you mean? Do you want to openly disobey the orders of this general? Or do you have doubts about General Ben's decision? ”
General Chang, a middle-aged man who hugged his fist at Huangfu Song, hurriedly said in a deep voice when he heard this: "Dashuai, the last general will not dare!" It's just that now our army's food is only enough to support more than a month, and if we can't transport food, the army's morale will collapse, and none of us can afford it then! The last general has absolutely no intention of disobeying the orders of the commander, and the last general is all for the sake of the army.
If our army can find Beigong Boyu's camp before the food runs out, then we still have the possibility of turning over, and if we run out of food first, then we are doomed to failure. ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song gently patted General Chang's shoulder: "Good brother, I understand what you mean, but your worries are completely superfluous now, go, go and carry out my orders, when will this commander's decision be missed?" ”
When General Chang heard this, he clenched his fists and said, "Marshal, can you tell your subordinates why you trust this and this yellow-haired boy so much?" Subordinates can't watch the big boss make obvious low-level mistakes! The subordinates must be responsible for the 50,000 brothers in Chang'an City, and the subordinates have no intention of disobeying the orders of the marshal! ”
Huangfu Song shook his head when he heard this, then looked at the other thin-faced general and said, "General Nangong, you go to open a warehouse and put grain to cook porridge." ”
Hearing this, the thin-faced general also lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "Please think twice, General!" ”
Chen Qun saw that Huangfu Song was about to get angry and hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't be angry!" The brothers are actually not wrong, they are all for the sake of the Han Dynasty, and they are good generals of the Han Dynasty, but they don't know me about it. By the way, uncle, how long does it take for grain to be transported from Luoyang to Tongguan? ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song frowned and said: "Previously, my uncle didn't dare to guarantee the safety of the grain route, so the grain requested each time was not much, only 50,000 stones, but this time my uncle plans to apply for 500,000 stones at one time to completely solve the problem of our army's grain reserves, so the time of this delivery will definitely be a lot slower, it is estimated that it will take five days to transport to Tongguan, and it will take four days to transport from Tongguan to Chang'an." ”
Hearing this, Chen Qun nodded and said, "Then the uncle will take out five days' military rations to relieve the victims, and leave the rest to the nephew." ”
"This son, what if you can't transport 500,000 stone military rations to Chang'an?" General Chang said angrily when he heard this.
Chen Qun looked at General Chang and smiled slightly: "At your disposal, if this General Chang is not at ease, you can follow me at that time and see how my people defeated those Qianghu archers." ”
When General Chang heard this, he clenched his fists and said, "Okay! This is what Gongzi said personally, all the brothers here can testify, and there is no joke in the army! ”
Chen Qun nodded and said, "There is no joke in the army!" If I lose my rations, I will be dealt with by military law! ”
When General Chang heard this, he clenched his fists and said: "Commander, my subordinates will go to open a warehouse and release grain now, and all the military rations for five days will be used to boil porridge to relieve the victims." ”
Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "General Chang, I have a suggestion, why don't you hand over the five days' military rations to the Chen Ji Restaurant in Chang'an City, and let them come to relieve the victims in the city?" ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song nodded and said, "I agree!" That's absolutely fine. ”
General Chang also nodded when he heard this: "Since the marshal has no opinion, then the general has nothing to say, the food in Chen Ji Restaurant is absolutely a must, and the general believes that they will definitely be able to save all the victims in the city." ”
Chen Qun smiled slightly at General Chang, then turned around and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion with Huangfu Song.
