Chapter 241: Yuan Shao's First Battle Wins
Liu Hong heard He Jin recommend Yuan Shao, so he said: "Where is Yuan Shao?" ”
In the class, Yuan Shao's heart was pounding, and it was finally his turn to play, if he could suppress the Yellow Turban soldiers this time, then in time, he would definitely become the mainstay of the Han Dynasty, and his merits and fame would far exceed the elders of his own family, and the Yuan family would be even higher!
Yuan Shao came out in response, knelt on the red carpet, and said, "Minister Yuan Shao is here!" ”
Liu Hong didn't talk to him directly, but looked around and asked again, "Don't wait for Li Qin to arrive?" What if the Yulin Army is defeated again? Then there will be no one to guard the capital, no one to protect me! ”
The court was silent for a while, and the ministers immediately discussed, although there were many people talking and saying anything, but the opinions were probably unanimous, and more than seventy percent of the ministers advocated not waiting for Li Qin to come, it was better to send Yulin Army out directly.
Wang Yun walked out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that with the current situation, it is most appropriate to send the Yulin Army. Li Qin's army took too long to go from Liangzhou to Julu, and if the Fujiao army was defeated again, then the arrogance of the Yellow Turban thieves would be even more arrogant, originally just shouting that they were going to attack the capital, maybe seeing that Li Qin was also defeated, they would really come to attack the capital! ”
Liu Hong was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that the Yellow Turban soldiers would call, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "You have a point, that's true!" ”
Wang Yun said again: "But if you send the Yulin Army now, even if the record is still not good, but it will also eliminate the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Thief, that Zhang Jiao realizes that the Yulin Army is powerful, and the Yulin Army in the capital is more, they will not be able to win, so they will turn around and fight elsewhere, so that the time is delayed, it just so happens that Li Qin will arrive with the Fujiao Army, so that he can maneuver with the Yellow Turban Army in other states, with Li Qin's ability, he will definitely win, and the capital can also avoid the war!" ”
After listening to this analysis, Liu Hong finally stopped being afraid, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, your idea is too good, just do as you say!" He waved his hand and said: "Yuan Shaojia is a rebel general, and he will take 10,000 Yulin troops out of Beijing to suppress the rebellion!" ”
Yuan Shao immediately said: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust, and he will definitely extinguish the Yellow Turban traitor and report to His Majesty in triumph!" ”
After the dispersal of the dynasty, He Jin pulled Yuan Shao, and the two of them left the palace together. He Jin said: "At the beginning, you know that I have always looked down on you, although we have been less in contact with each other recently, but it is only because we are busy, not because I deliberately ignore you, you need to understand this." ”
Because Wang Yun said that Zhang Rang and others intended to build the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, among them was Yuan Shao, since then He Jin has not been very friendly to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao went to see him, and he often closed the door, but now he wants to send troops out of Beijing, He Jin can no longer find others, so he can only bite the bullet, and think of Yuan Shao again, and recommend him to lead the troops to the battle.
Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Why did the lord say this, Shao never thought that the adult would ignore me, if it wasn't for the recommendation of the lord today, how could Shao lead the troops to the battle!" ”
He Jin hummed, and said: "Send you to the front line, the strength is only 10,000, but I think it is enough, after you go to Julu, you are optimistic about Huangfu Song's old man, he has been defeated repeatedly, if you can win a few battles, then I can work hard in the court, let you replace him, and be the commander of the whole army." ”
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and even thanked him. The two said something else, and then they parted and went home.
After a few days, Yuan Shao actively prepared and chose a zodiac auspicious saying, he led the 10,000 Yulin army to swear to go out, left Luoyang, and rushed to Julu.
10,000 Yulin Army, not all of them have been trained by Yuan Shao, but when Yuan Shao trained recruits, Yulin Army has almost seen it, so it is still familiar, on the way, Yuan Shao conducted assault training on the Yulin Army, so the tens of thousands of Yulin Army who went out to fight can claim that all of them are new troops, but whether the combat effectiveness is strong or weak remains to be tested.
When it was not for the Yellow Turban Army to promote the army, the vast majority of the generals in the army did not understand the art of war, and could not effectively supply the army with effective logistics, then maybe the Yellow Turban Army could really drive the Han soldiers all the way to the west, and really could fight to Luoyang!
After Yuan Shao entered the barracks, he immediately went to see Zuo Zhonglang's general Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song was one of the main generals of the army, responsible for the attack of Julu, and Yuan Shao came here to support, which was under his command.
Huangfu Song is very capable of fighting, but the greater his ability, the more difficult it is to get along with, and his relationship with the eunuch group and the He Jin group is not very good, so the drudgery of taking the lead naturally falls on his shoulders. In real history, he was indeed one of the meritorious generals who suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising, but because he offended the eunuch group, the final outcome was not too wonderful, and when Dong Zhuo scoured the Jingshi, he did nothing, he may have been hit by the eunuch group, so he was disheartened and could only protect himself.
Yuan Shao was called into Huangfu Song's big tent, and saw that Huangfu Song was standing in front of the map, his face was expressionless, and he looked a bit like he was in a daze.
Yuan Shao said: "General Huangfu, the last general Yuan Shao has given you a salute!" He clenched his fists and bowed.
Huangfu Song sighed, turned around, looked at Yuan Shao, and said: "It turned out to be the beginning, it turned out that you were really here, I received news from Beijing a few days ago, saying that you were sent to support the front line, I still wondered, why even the Yulin Army was sent out, could it be that the adults in the court, really underestimate me to such a point?" ”
The imperial court even sent out the Yulin Army, naturally thinking that Huangfu Song would not be able to support it for long, if you think that Huangfu Song can still fight, then why send the Yulin Army, the Yulin Army is a royal army, and its main duty is to defend the capital.
Yuan Shao sighed and said, "The reasons for this are complicated, just like a mess. It's not so much that you can believe in General Huangfu or not, but that you can believe Li Qin or not. ”
Huangfu Song made a gesture of please, he sat down with Yuan Shao, the soldiers brought tea, drank hot tea, and then Huangfu Song said: "Your Majesty summoned Li Qindong here?" And then Li Qin is really here? ”
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Then there is still one who doesn't come, Li Qin wants to bring troops to the east in his dreams!" However, I heard that he is still in Sizhou, tossing in Chang'an, and when he has tossed enough, he will naturally come east. So, we're pressed for time! ”
Huangfu Song snorted and said, "The military affairs are such a child's play, intriguing with each other, what kind of system. ”
Yuan Shao said: "If this is the case, what can it be? ”
After being silent for a moment, Huangfu Song said: "It's really the front door to drive wolves, the back door to enter the tiger, the Yellow Turban thieves in the east have not been suppressed, and there is an even more powerful Li Qin in the west, our Han world's world is going to be chaotic!" ”
From the minister's point of view, Huangfu Song is indeed a loyal courtier, after he suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising, the army was strong and strong, and the momentum was great, some people suggested that he ascend the throne as the emperor and open the country, but he refused, and when the eunuch group suppressed him in the future, he did not have resentment and rebelled, from this point, he was much stronger than other generals. The more faithful a person is, the more direct he will be, because there is no ghost in his heart, and he is not afraid of other people's calculations.
Yuan Shao was not as frank as him, he said: "Li Qin is deeply favored by the country, and there should be no half-heartedness." General Huangfu is cautious! ”
Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "What is there to dare to say?" It's all something that everyone knows. If you weren't afraid that Li Qindong would come, then why did you send you to Julu with the Yulin Army? Didn't you just want to end the war here as soon as possible, as soon as the war ended, Li Qin naturally couldn't come. But those big men in the court didn't think about it, the Yellow Turban Thief was so powerful, if he was in a hurry to fight without paying attention to strategy, the consequences would be very serious! ”
Yuan Shao naturally knew this, he said: "Now the Yellow Turban rebels think that they can succeed in the rebellion, and learn from that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, but if we can divide them and suspend the offensive, then their rabble will definitely fight among themselves, share and grab power, just a bunch of mud legs, how much profit can they have, and when they are infighting, our army will attack again, and they will be able to break them one by one and win easily!" ”
Huangfu Song sighed and said: "But now, the more anxious they are, the more the Yellow Turban traitors will hold together, and the more fierce the resistance will be, if they are allowed to go out of the giant deer, it will really be a big mess in the world!" ”
"I've heard that there are already rebels in other places!" Yuan Shao said.
The two were silent, they couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and they would undoubtedly burn their mouths, but they couldn't help it, who let them just be generals who obeyed orders, and the bigwigs who made decisions in the DPRK and China thought differently from them.
At this moment, a soldier ran into the tent and said, "General Qiyu, a team of yellow turban thieves came from the direction of Julu, with more than 10,000 people, it seems that they came out to grab grain and grass, and it is only more than ten miles away from our army's camp, and it will be there in a blink of an eye!" ”
Yuan Shao immediately jumped up and said, "General Huangfu, the last general is willing to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to defeat this Yellow Turban thief!" ”
Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment and said, "You have just arrived, and you haven't rested and reorganized the army, how can you fight?" ”
Yuan Shao said: "Don't hide it from General Huangfu, when Shao was training the new army, one of them was to engage the enemy on the march, and now it is time to try!" ”
Huangfu Song hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, then you will lead the troops to battle, and I will wait for your good news in the tent." ”
Yuan Shao strode out of the account and ordered troops to fight. As soon as he came out of the account, the generals under Huang Fu Song came in one after another, and they were very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's coming here, just like Huang Fu Song's original thoughts.
A general said: "General, why did you let Yuan Shao fight?" How could the group of Yulin Army masters he brought be the opponents of the Yellow Turban Thieves, he hadn't seen the difference between the Yellow Turban Thieves, that was really overwhelming! ”
Huangfu Song snorted and said, "Let him suffer a little, why not?" Let him also know that the Yellow Turban Thief is not so easy to pacify! ”
The generals nodded together, and they all thought that Yuan Shao should be taught a little lesson, so that he could know how high the sky was and how thick the earth was!
At most, half an hour later, there was a sudden noise outside, several soldiers galloped to the front of the tent, and a soldier dismounted and rushed in, shouting: "General, General Yuan has won a great victory, beheaded more than a thousand, has repelled the Yellow Turban thief, and is on his way back to the division!" ”
Huangfu Song was taken aback, jumped up, and shouted, "What? Was he victorious? How is this possible! ”
