Chapter 4: Famous Scholar Yan Zhong

The cool night breeze blew across the huge river, but there was no movement in sight. Suddenly a fog arose, and a thin mist shrouded the deathly silent river. The already silent river made the fog so covered, and it immediately became very mysterious and depressing.

Not far from the river, in a large hall with a bright fire, an old man in armor was pleading.

"General Huangfu get up."

In the face of the veteran's loyalty, Liu Xie couldn't agree to his request, because he had already made up with Xun You.

Xun You, who was located opposite the veteran Huangfu Song, also helped to persuade: "The old general should get up first, and then listen to His Majesty's holy words~~~"

"Wechen is kneeling here, listening to the holy word!"

The burning of Luoyang City made Huangfu Song regret it, if he had learned from Gai Xun and persisted a little more, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo would never have moved west so arrogantly.

These days, he has been with the upright and restless Gai Xun for a long time, and he has also learned a trace of Gai Xun's stubbornness.

Of course, persuading His Majesty to dispel the idea of pro-conquest was also a task assigned to him by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

The Son of Heaven will inevitably pass through Fufeng County on his expedition to the west, and the ministers of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors cannot leave Chang'an City without authorization, so they can only send letters to Huangfu Song of Fufeng, so that he can bear the hope of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, persuade His Majesty to stop the army, or send a main general to go, but he must not be able to conquer in person.

"Hehe~~~"

At that time, Liu Xie led the troops to leave Shanglin Yuan without saying a word, and there were no ministers of the Han Court to advise him along the way, and he dared to pin his hopes on the veteran Huangfu Song below.

Liu Xie, who was on the throne, in addition to expressing some helplessness about this, was also a little happy, because he saw that Huangfu Song, who had always been obedient, was a little stubborn. Be able to stand up for yourself.

A successful son of heaven should not have too many submissive courtiers under him.

If there are courtiers who can stick to their own ideas, and at the same time have loyalty and great talent, this will meet Liu Xie's appetite!

"Gongda, explain to General Huangfu on my behalf. Why did I go west? ”

"No!" After Xun Yu respectfully responded, he informed the old general of the analysis of the previous few days, and did not hide the Son of Heaven's westward expedition, in order to evade the responsibility of Dutian.

"This~~~"

A large amount of information, from Xun You's mouth, smashed into Huangfu Song's ears, making him unable to react for a while.

"Weichen will keep the secret for His Majesty!"

Wiping his sweat, the old general returned to his seat. I was a little impressed in my heart, when Guanzhong Dutian was vigorous, the Son of Heaven withdrew in time to avoid the firepower of the family, which was really an extremely wise move.

After admiring it, Huangfu Song set his eyes on Xun Yu opposite, but he didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would only be in a few months. He collected a good general and minister, if the world's first military general conference and the palace test recruitment were completed. Then all the talents of the world will enter the urn of the Son of Heaven!

"General Huangfu, why don't you analyze the current situation in Liangzhou for me."

"Commandment." After Huangfu Song hugged his fists, he said: "Liangzhou has fourteen counties, namely Longxi County, Nan'an County, Guangwei County, Tianshui County, Anding County, Beidi County, Xinping County, Jincheng County, Xiping County, Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County, Xihai County, and ninety-eight counties. ”

"These fourteen counties, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County, and Weiwu County are the four counties of Hexi. Located in the far northwest of Liangzhou, the Han and Qiang are mixed and complex, and they rebel all year round, so the imperial court has long lost control. ”

"And Weiwu County is an important fortress that separates the four counties of Hexi from Liangzhou. Now the mighty county guards the horses. He is a descendant of the general Fubo Ma Yuan, although he participated in the rebellion of the kingdom and others. But Weichen still thinks that this person's loyalty will last forever~~~"

"Haha~~~ This is wonderful~~~"

The Son of Heaven and the Shaofu Ling Xun You next to him all laughed when they heard Huangfu Song say that Ma Teng was a loyal man.

In later generations, Liu Xie also relied on some deeds to deduce the loyalty of this horse aid descendant.

In the original time and space, after Dong Zhuo's defeat, the remnants of the party Li Dao, Guo Yan Bingzheng, Ma Teng was edicted by the Son of Heaven, was named the general of the expedition to the west, and then Han Sui crusaded against Li Dao and Guo Yan, and was defeated due to lack of food and returned to Xiliang.

After Cao Cao moved the Son of Heaven to Xuchang, Ma Teng followed him into the court, participated in the plan of Liu Bei and Dong Cheng and others to assassinate the autocratic Cao Mengde, and fled back to Liangzhou due to the revelation of the matter.

Later, after the development and growth, Cao Cao used one of the guards of Jiuqing as bait to lure Ma Teng to Xuchang, and then killed him!

Therefore, Ma Teng is the only one among the princes of all walks of life who is willing to accept the will of the Son of Heaven and enter the land of tigers and wolves alone.

And the purpose of his two entry into Xuchang, in Liu Xie's view, should not be for high-ranking officials and Houlu, but to protect the emperor of the Han family.

It can be seen that he has always been very loyal to the Han family!

"General Huangfu's words are very good, I have already issued a secret decree, worship Ma Teng as the ruling Jinwu, let him be firmly stationed in Weiwu County, and not let the soldiers and horses of Zhangye, Jiuquan and other counties go south!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Huangfu Song praised again, it seems that the Son of Heaven has a great deal of confidence in this personal expedition.

"If General Ma Teng can block the soldiers and horses of the four counties in the northwest, then the only thing left is Han Sui of Jincheng County."

"Han Sui owns the whole county of Xiping, as well as part of the three counties of Longxi, Nan'an, and Anding, this person is as cunning as a fox, and the soldiers are strong and strong, it is a little difficult to deal with~~~"

"There are eight strong generals under his command, Yan Xing, Cheng Gong English and Wuquan, Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu and others are very powerful."

"In addition, his advisor is Yan Zhong."

"Hiss~~~"

The first time he heard this explosive news, Liu Xie's heart suddenly burst into cold air, this Yan Zhong was no stranger to him.

He is a famous man in Liangzhou, when he was young, Jia Xu was called "the wonder of Liangping", when Wenhe was not yet twenty years old, he was praised by Yan Zhong for having Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's strategy, how vicious this vision is!

And after Huangfu Song quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he had a heavy army, and it was this guy who persuaded the old general to take the opportunity to launch a coup d'Γ©tat and stand on his own behalf of the Han Dynasty!

Huangfu Song, who has always been loyal, naturally would not follow it, and later Yan Zhong was afraid of being punished, so he fled.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Han Sui's subordinate.

This is a bit difficult to do, after all, in terms of resourcefulness, he should not be much inferior to Jia Xu!

"When the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, Weichen was helped by Yan Zhong's plan. He had worked with him for more than a year and knew that he was a resourceful man. ”

"This~~~"

Xun You, who originally thought that the victory was in his hands, also had some drums in his heart, and with Yan Zhong helping Han Sui, then pacifying Liangzhou would not be so simple: "There is a question below, and I also ask General Huangfu to say bluntly, why does the old general know that Yan Zhong is in Han Sui's army?" ”

"It's a bit embarrassing to say this!" Huangfu Song said with some embarrassment: "At the beginning, this person bewitched the public and wantonly slandered the Han family, but remembering how meritorious he was, he let him go." ”

"Half a month ago, when he was helping Fengdutian, Yan Zhong sent a letter of thanks, saying that he was currently appointed in Han Sui's army, and thanked him for not arresting and questioning him that day; He also said that he must not touch the wealthy family, otherwise there will be trouble. ”

"Hehe, this Yan Zhong is a little interesting~~~"

Liu Xie, who was on the main seat, suddenly laughed, and said arrogantly: "I have a plan, I can let Han Sui kill Yan Zhong!" ”

What the!!!

The emperors under the throne, Song and Xun You, after listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, were all shocked, Yan Zhong's strategy, how could Han Sui kill him? (To be continued.) )
