Chapter 22: Shock
Huangfu Song is a very serious general, compared to his friend Zhu Jun's sometimes humorous and humorous, his way of treating his subordinates has always been unsmiling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It has been several months since the army retreated to Changshe, and under the joint attack of Bocai and Peng Tuo, Huangfu Song Zhu Jun's 40,000 army was simply ground into 30,000, and these 30,000 people were still surrounded by a large number of yellow scarves without any temper.
Fortunately, Runan is still surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the army carries a lot of materials, so there is no shortage of food and grass for so long.
The two Huangfu Song, who thought that they would win if they consumed like this, found a huge problem at the very beginning.
Because the battle damage was too large, there were too many corpses, and most of them were piled up in the moat, they did not have the advanced hygiene concept of Wei Yu, let alone medical experts like Zhang Bozu and Zhang Zhongjing. So when spring arrived, germs were scattered, and most of the soldiers ate the contaminated water, and a disease began to spread in the barracks.
Fortunately, the two of them are experienced commanders after all, and in the face of such a situation, they decisively chose the method of breaking the wrist of a strong man, and all the corpses that died because of the epidemic were burned, and the soldiers who were found to have the epidemic would basically end up buried alive.
There is no way to deal with epidemics in ancient times, when there was a lack of medical knowledge.
Fortunately, although the methods were rude, they had a certain effect. Huangfu Song, who had just urged the soldiers to bury the infected robe alive, did not look very good, he opened the tent with force, and then sat down.
It was not that he did not have a temporary residence in the long society, but he had long been accustomed to the life of the camp because of his strict management of the army. After taking a casual sip of water, he began to study the map.
The two thieves are known as 80,000 yellow scarves, but they are not as real as Zhang Mancheng, and half of them are coerced homeless. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were not trying to break through the siege, and they also achieved some results, but when they found that those mighty yellow scarves were actually vulnerable, a problem arose.
Bocai had already let the exiles who were coerced fight in the front, and on the day of the battle, not only Emperor Zhu Jun was panicked, but even the soldiers of the Yulin Army who rushed into battle were also panicked.
When facing the homeless, the war horses under their crotches are no longer galloping, the weapons in their hands are no longer sharp, these warriors are also flesh and blood, how can they attack a group of homeless.
The Yellow Turban's plan to drive out the displaced people succeeded, and it was even more unforgiving, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still in ambush took advantage of the time when the imperial army was stunned to attack, and the imperial court was defeated for a while, and Huangfu Song could only withdraw his troops and retreat within a hundred miles of Changshe.
There was a sudden loosening on Huangfu Song's serious face, because he had already heard some commotion outside the tent. Sure enough, when he looked up, he was already there, and Zhu Jun was laughing and walking.
"Yizhen, great joy!"
Listening to his friend's call for his cousin, Huangfu Song glanced at Zhu Jun suspiciously, and asked, "I can't move when we are trapped in the small long club, I don't know why I am happy?" ”
Zhu Jun walked to the front of the Huangfu Song case, threw the bamboo slip in his hand on it, and shouted: "It's really a great joy, there is good news from Nanyang, don't believe it yourself!" ”
"Yuan Highway?" Huangfu Song picked up the book suspiciously and read it, and found that it was indeed good news, so he asked, "Isn't it fake?" We were surrounded by yellow turban thieves, how did those little schools send the news? ”
"What's so hard about that?" Zhu Jun proudly pointed to a small road on the map, and took out a jade pendant with a smile.
"Yizhen, you may not know that this kid Yuan Highway has newly obtained a military division and made a spy battalion, and his magical powers are very tight. Don't say it, if it weren't for the little colonel who took the token of the Yuan family, I wouldn't believe it. ”
"Strategist?"
Zhu Jun smiled mysteriously and said, "Guess who is coming." ”
"How can I have time to play pantomime riddles with you?" Huangfu Song glanced at Zhu Jun angrily, but his face was already showing joy. At present, Lu Zhi in the north has won great victories one after another, and there has been no improvement in the south.
"It's Wei Zhongdao who you used to talk to me about! This kid is really a man of God. ”
Zhu Jun had already begun to talk endlessly about the details he had drawn out from the mouth of the schoolmaster, and when he talked about Wei Yu first Cai Yang, he was even more indignant.
"Hmph, this Qin Jie is really eating the court in vain, since he dares to collude with the Yellow Turban thieves, then Xu Gongming's axe is really happy!"
Huangfu Song nodded and acquiesced in Zhu Jun's statement, in fact, he was very concerned about Wei Zhongdao, because not long ago he had always admired the improved chess.
He always felt a little regretful that he had never seen his old friend Cai Yong's Chenglong fast son-in-law, but he couldn't leave Luoyang half a step away from him while he was on official business.
So he and Zhu Jun have been sending people to find out the news from Hedong, he knows that Wei Yu cleaned the Hedong family, and he also knows about the talented people around Wei Yu, but now these people are all voting for Yuan Shu.
Although he said it in his mouth, he was already ridiculing Yuan Highway in his heart.
"That Xu Gongming and Ju Qingyue are all good generals for a while, Cheng Zhongde and Xu Yuanzhi are full of scheming, Gu Yuanxi is handy in handling government affairs, Wei Boru and Cheng Shaowen are also not lagging behind.
It seems that our old friend's boy is going to soar into the sky this time! ”
Although Zhu Jun joked, he did not hide the little jealousy in his eyes.
Huangfu Song said: "Since Yuan Highway has won, when will he come to my aid Runan?" ”
"The little colonel has already said it, it is estimated that it will be soon, and when they are arranged, they will notify us of the internal and external attack."
As soon as Zhu Jun heard Huangfu Song talk about business, he immediately became serious.
"Anyway, I think you and I are also famous generals in the world, but we have to fall to the point where a younger generation comes to save us."
"I don't think there's anything, it's all Hanchen, and it's natural to serve the imperial court."
…
The news of the great victory was transmitted quickly through the intelligence agency in Chen Jia's hands, and when the news reached Luoyang, it was many days slower than that of Changshe.
Liu Hong sat lazily on the court, with no intention of going to government at all, and the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Thieves had disturbed his mind these days.
The generals and the army were all sent down, but they never saw any miraculous results, so in private, in addition to beating and scolding the palace maids and eunuchs, they had to vent their physiological needs frantically, so that they made crazy measures of "Han chaos" in history.
Obviously, he was a little overindulgent, Liu Hong was a little sleepy, and he was just about to give Zhang Rang a look, wanting him to have a boring early dynasty.
"The minister has something to do."
Liu Hong glanced at the source of the voice angrily, and when he saw that it was Sikong Yuan Feng, he still let it play.
Yuan Feng was obviously very proud, although he played with his head down, he still looked very imposing.
"Nanyang guarded Yuan Shu too much, and his subordinates attacked Nanyang Yellow Turban Zhang Mancheng, defeated Zhang Mancheng and Cai Yang with 50,000 Yellow Turbans, and sent it today, and the minister did not wait for a moment, wanting to make it reach the heavens."
As soon as Yuan Feng said this, Liu Hong's eyes that were used to squinting suddenly opened, and the round face and fat ears immediately came to color, and he said in ecstasy: "Yuan Shu really defeated 50,000 yellow scarves?" ”
Liu Hong has lost the imperial etiquette by calling his name, although Yuan Feng is dissatisfied, he still said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to speak falsely, but it is so." ”
"Okay!" Liu Hong already knew that he was rude in Zhang Rang's eyes, so he opened his hand and said: "I think that Nanyang is only more than 10,000 guards, and he can actually break 50,000 yellow scarves, Yuan Qing is really a good general!" ”
"Yuan Sikong thinks that I should reward Yuan Qing?"
Yuan Feng waved his sleeves and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Yuan Taishou said in the book that the merits of this battle are not his, they are all the merits of his subordinates, and I hope Your Majesty will reward them." ”
Yuan Feng had already taken out a scroll from his sleeve, asked the attendants on the side to put it on, and handed it to Liu Hongwei to see.
Most of the above records the merits of Wei Yu and his party, and also records the details of the war. Although Yuan Feng is a bit exaggerated, it is not without purpose, if he really sends someone to investigate, it is not difficult to find the true merits of Wei Yu and others.
Liu Hong's eyes were already excited, even if he shuttled with wine and meat all year round, it didn't mean that there was no man's blood, and he didn't finish watching it, he said.
"This Wei Yu is just a counselor in Yuan Qing's army, but he has made such a miraculous feat, not to mention the white wave and yellow scarf, and he will exterminate Zhang Mancheng and the others, and he should be rewarded!"
Liu Hong and the others lost their rewards, Wei Yu, Ju Yi Xu Huang, Cheng Yu and so on did not fall, and finally he looked at Yuan Feng again and said with a smile: "Yuan Qing has worked hard in this battle, why is there no reward?" It was sealed that Nanyang was too shou Yuan Shuhu Ben Zhonglang General, Changting Hou! The collar is more than two thousand stones. ”
The matter finally ended successfully, Liu Hong happily retired from the court, and Yuan Shuwei and others also received a reward.
Compared with 2,000 stones, it is converted to more than 1,400 stones a year, if it is placed in the entire Han Dynasty, this is a county Taishou is normal is Yulu, but Liu Hong is a well-known emperor who is greedy for money, and during his reign, everyone's Yulu is greatly reduced. Of course, these high-ranking officials do not rely on money to support their families, but it is a very good gift to have such a reward.
Tinghou is already among the princes, Yuan Shu's ability to seal the Chang Tinghou is naturally due to his exploits in exterminating the Yellow Turban, Wei Yu is only his subordinate, but for the sake of Wei Yu to break the white wave and yellow scarf, he also got a Guan Neihou.
Although the Marquis of Guan Nei is not a liehou, he only follows him, as for Cheng Yu, Xu Shu and others, they have appreciated, and most of the generals such as Ju Yi and Xu Huang have received the position of partial generals.
After retiring from the dynasty, Yuan Feng can be said to be refreshed, this son who has never been favored by himself, has made such a contribution. As soon as the Yuan family walked together, their friends Huang Wan, Ma Riyan and others on the side were all happy.
Yuan Shao is still not qualified to go to court at present, and today he also listened to Yuan Shu's exploits, although he was a little jealous in his heart, but he still quickly appeased himself.
He had just been dismissed from He Jinfu, and he was about to walk towards the carriage, when suddenly a Confucian man walked over.
"Brother Benchu is fine."
Yuan Shao glanced at Yang Tuan opposite, although the Yuan family and the Yang family are not dealing with each other now, but the surface work still needs to be done.
"I wonder what happened to Brother Dewang coming?"
"Huh." Yang Tuan laughed dryly, "I just want to catch up with my original brother." ”
Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this, opened his mouth and said, "It's not appropriate to talk here, why don't you talk to Brother Dewang and Shao in the carriage?" ”
"It's as good as it gets."
