Chapter 24: The Capture of the Army
"Kill Huangfu Song, let's hurry up and move on, and then snatch the power of that Huangfu Song's 30,000 army!" Dong Liang thought.
Dong Liang came to Chang'an this time, not all to intercept and kill Huangfu Song, he valued the military power in Huangfu Song's hands more. This is 30,000 fresh troops, but they are all elites who have just suppressed the kingdom's rebellion, and they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. Therefore, the value of these soldiers is no less than that of Huangfu Song's head in a sense, so since Huangfu Song was killed, he naturally can't let go of the military power of these 30,000 troops. Anyway, as long as there are 30,000 troops, Dong Liang's position in Luoyang is very stable.
Of course, Dong Liang knew that the 30,000 army was definitely a hot potato, and it would definitely not be able to stay in his hands. It is impossible for Dong Liang to occupy the military power of these 30,000 troops by himself, after all, these 30,000 troops were not formed by him, so he does not have so many generals who can control these 30,000 troops. In the end, these 30,000 troops must be given back to Dong Zhuo, otherwise Dong Zhuo will definitely kill himself and seize the military power. However, as long as Dong Zhuo's strength is strengthened, it is currently strengthening Dong Liang's strength. When Dong Zhuo dies, then he can take the opportunity to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, and then these military powers can be returned to his hands again. So there is no need to be in such a hurry, as long as Dong Zhuo does not die for a day, it is really not so easy for him to cross Dong Zhuo.
"Gaifu Yin, there is a cavalry outside, and the word 'Dong' is written on the banner!" A soldier shouted.
Jingzhao Yin Gaixun immediately said: "I don't know who it is, I hope it's not Dong Thief!" β
"Open the door, we are the Xiyuan Army under the command of Tai Lieutenant Dong Zhuo, and our lieutenant is called Dong Liang, and he is the nephew of Tai Lieutenant. Hurry up and open the door, and let us in!" We have a decree, open the door quickly. Dong Liang's cavalry shouted.
"It's Dong Thief's soldiers, I don't know what happened to General Huangfu Song, have you met them?" Gai Xun thought suddenly.
"Open the door!" Gai Xun said.
Gai Xun is always difficult to disobey the holy decree, not to mention that now Dong Zhuo is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so Gai Xun must also obey the order. If you don't listen, then I'm afraid that Dong Liang will be given the truth next, and then let Dong Liang kill them. So in order to avoid accidents, Gai Xun still chose to open the door.
Dong Liang took Yang Miaozhen and dozens of elite soldiers, and then came to the Yin Mansion of Jingzhao Mansion, and then prepared to read the holy decree.
"The edict, the left general Huang Fu Song, intends to raise troops to rebel, framed the loyal and good Dong Taiwei, and now orders the military captain Dong Liang to come to arrest Huang Fu Song, and confiscate Huang Fu Song's tiger talisman, and transfer troops back to Chang'an. Dong Liang, the captain of the military academy, thoroughly investigates the remnants of the Huangfu Songyu party, but he can act cheaply! Dong Liang read it out.
"Just now, Huangfu Song actually left Jingzhao Mansion, intending to abscond in fear of crime. But unfortunately, he met the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves, so he was shot to death by random arrows, which I deeply feel that good and evil have their own rewards. Huangfu Song betrayed the imperial court, and naturally he would not be protected by the national fortune of my Han Dynasty, so it is reasonable that he will be killed by thieves. However, I naturally got back the talisman and came over to transfer troops! Dong Liang said.
And Gai Xun suddenly felt grief, and Huangfu Song actually died in the hands of Dong Liang. Originally, Gai Xun also hoped that Huangfu Song would use the military power in his hand to raise troops to expel Dong Zhuo, and give the Han a bright future. This is how long it has been, and it has ended up like this, and Huangfu Song has also fallen to the result of being shot by random arrows. As for the yellow turban thief, this is completely an excuse, and it is just an excuse at all. And now Dong Liang has also come to pack up the military power, and the 30,000 soldiers have been received under Dong Zhuo's command. In this way, not only did the anti-Dong Zhuo forces decrease, but the number of soldiers who supported Dong Zhuo increased, so that under the elimination of one and the other, the anti-Dong people were even more sad.
"Now, order all the officers under Huangfu Song to come to see me!" Dong Liang said.
Soon, some officers came over immediately, and after seeing Dong Liang, they immediately began to question Dong Liang.
"Our Huangfu general is loyal to the Han Dynasty, how can it be a rebellion? Also, what do you mean by this, do you come to let us belong to Dong Zhuo's command? A general asked.
And Dong Liang immediately took the tiger-shaped talisman and said: "I am an official of the Han Dynasty, I recognize the tiger talisman but not the person, since I have the tiger talisman of the Han in my hand, you must obey my orders!" And my uncle Dong Zhuo is also the captain of my Han Dynasty, who is in charge of the military power of the whole country, is there a problem with this? So, listen to me no matter what! β
"No, General Huangfu was unjustly killed, and I can't accept a rebellious one!" A general said.
"So you mean, you're not going to follow orders?" Dong Liang asked.
"Yes, I won't listen to you!" The guy said right away.
Dong Liang immediately said unceremoniously: "Okay, since you don't listen to the orders of the imperial court, and you still have to swear to support Huangfu Song, a traitor, then don't blame me for being rude." The captain of this school was ordered to supervise the remnants of Huangfu Song, so since you still have to support Huangfu Song so much, then you are an out-and-out remnant party. Someone, pull him down and behead him for public display! β
"Yes!" Dong Liang's guard cavalry said.
"Why did you kill me? Why kill me? The guy said angrily.
And at this time, Gai Xun was also a little unbearable, Gai Xun said: "Captain Dong Liang, it's better not to kill him first, after all, he is also an officer of the imperial court, if he is killed so casually, then I am afraid that it will be difficult for the imperial court to explain!" β
"Didn't you hear the orders of the imperial court? The imperial court ordered me to supervise the remnants of the Huangfu Songyu party, and I could act cheaply. Do you know what it means to act cheaply? I can decide for myself the power of life and death of those Huangfu Songyu parties, so I killed this guy, and it was also within the authority to act cheaply! Cut it for me! Dong Liang said.
Soon, the guy was dragged to be beheaded. And Dong Liang actually hopes to purge the army under Huangfu Song, and to purge those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty and Huang Fu Song. And those ordinary soldiers are going with the flow, and they won't have too many political positions. So Dong Liang only needs to clean up those officers, and there are not too many complicated things. As for the next, it is enough to take those troops under the ownership of the Dong family, and at that time, Dong Zhuo's strength will also increase greatly, and he will be safer.
"Next, it's your turn to Yin Gaixun of Jingzhao Mansion!" Dong Liang said.
And Gai Xun immediately asked, "What do you want to do?" β
Dong Liang replied: "Gai Xun, you are one of the most important remnants of Huangfu Song, you should have been persuading Huang Fu Song to rebel in the name of the Qing monarch yesterday, right?" β
"What? How do you know this? Gai Xun exclaimed.
Gai Xun felt incredible, how could Dong Zhuo know? You must know that Gai Xun said to Huangfu Song alone at that time, and there were no outsiders around! And Huangfu Song is dead, no one should know! And Huang Fu Song should not betray himself, after all, Huang Fu Song's festival Gai Xun still believes it. But now the situation is like this, less than twenty-four hours after the incident happened, Dong Liang actually let Dong Liang know, which made Gai Xun inevitably shocked.
"Hahahaha, I just lied to you, and you said it? Come on, pull down and behead! Dong Liang said.
Dong Liang actually knew that after Dong Zhuo transferred Huangfu Song back to Chang'an in the original history, this Gai Xun had persuaded Huangfu Song to rise up and clear the monarch's side, so that he could return the Han Dynasty to a bright future. And Dong Liang didn't know that this time and space was still not like this, but he just deceived this Gai Xun, and this Gai Xun couldn't help but not admit himself, so Dong Liang still had nothing to be polite about, and he killed him directly without saying a word.
"You can't kill me, I'm Jing Zhaoyin of the imperial court, you can't kill me!" "Traitor, Dong thief, you can't die well!" β¦β¦
Gai Xun was also beheaded, and then Dong Liang spent about half a day, and then dealt with all the generals in this army who had a good relationship with Huangfu Song, and was dismissed from his post at the lightest, and beheaded by Dong Liang in the name of a Huangfu Songyu party. In this way, the top commanders of this army are empty, and this army is completely unable to fight normally.
However, Dong Liang didn't care, because he just needed to bring this army back to Luoyang, and he didn't want this army to fight. As long as it is brought back to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo will definitely have a lot of people who will come over to take over this army. Dong Liang didn't have too many generals to occupy these positions at the moment, so he could only let him go. However, Dong Liang knew that these soldiers could not be relied on, and the real ones who could be relied on were the 1,000 infantry he had just recruited, and this was the most able force to rely on. And this Xiyuan Army can only be used as an initial supplement, if it is necessary to disperse the cavalry of this Xiyuan Army in the future, and then reorganize a force, this is the army that really belongs to itself.
"The army is leaving, follow me back to Luoyang!" Dong Liang shouted.
Soon, Dong Liang returned to Luoyang with 2,000 cavalry of the Xiyuan Army and 30,000 infantry on a rapid march, preparing to reorganize the 30,000 army. In the future, they will plan to join Dong Zhuo's troops, and then they can really become the descendants of Dong Jiajun. And at that time, Dong Zhuo's strength will inevitably increase greatly, and those people in Luoyang City will not dare to move even more at that time. As long as there are these 30,000 new forces, Dong Zhuo can really sit in a firm position in Luoyang, and he is not afraid of anyone's opposition. When the time comes, it will not be easy to clean up who you want. And Dong Liang, a "gentleman", can't he "bully others and rob women from good families"? This kind of day is really intoxicating to think about!
