High! It's really high!

For Li Ru, Zhang Huang admired the five-body throw to the ground this time.

If Li Ru suffered a little loss at the hands of Han Sui last time and shocked Zhang Huang, then this time, Zhang Huang sincerely felt that Li Ru really deserved to be a poisoner, and it was really not a little poison.

That time, after Dong Zhuo left Zhang Wen's handsome tent with a black face, Zhang Huang guessed that he wanted to take revenge. Sure enough, after returning to his residence, Dong Zhuo immediately sent his cronies to send a letter to Li Ru, who was far away in Longxi, asking how to take revenge and vent the resentment in his heart.

In fact, while waiting for Li Ru's reply, Dong Zhuo also discussed this matter with Zhang Huang in private, and their plan at that time was to deliberately defeat the battle.

"I'd rather give up this great opportunity to prove my ability to the imperial court and General He Jin, and I must not make Zhou Shen feel better!"

This is Dong Zhuo's original words, this person has always been a male lord who says everything.

Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo's letter had just been sent, and the next day he received a letter from Li Ru, and responded to the possibility of such a situation.

It's a genius!

At that time, Zhang Huang was so frightened that he almost bit his tongue.

It turned out that Li Ru was always paying attention to the direction of the imperial court, and when he heard that General Dangkou had stubbornly destroyed 30,000 troops for his own use but had not been punished, he realized with foresight that General Zhou Shen must have been an important pawn introduced by General He Jin to control the military. So of course, when the situation takes a turn for the better, General He Jin will inevitably put pressure on Zhang Wen as the commander through his own forces, so that Zhou Shen can take the greatest credit for this counterinsurgency campaign.

In this way, Dong Zhuo is bound to be in the same boat as Zhou Shenshi, the general of Dangkou. According to Li Ru's understanding of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo will definitely not be able to swallow this evil breath at that time, and he will pull Zhou Shen down at all costs.

This kind of means of ending up together is something Li Ru does not want to see. Therefore, he prepared a plan in advance and sent someone to Dong Zhuo.

It is worth mentioning that Huangfu Song, a famous general who should have been Dong Zhuo's biggest rival, Li Ru did not mention it in the letter. Obviously, more than half of Li Ru had already expected that Huangfu Song would be hidden by General He Jin, so he didn't need to bother.

The day after receiving Li Ru's letter, the wilted and damaged Dong Zhuo deliberately let out the news. The gist is that now that Han Sui was defeated and frustrated, he fled back to Jincheng in embarrassment, which was a great opportunity to win meritorious service, and Zhou Shen was assisted by Sun Jian, in this case, even if he was a pig, there was absolutely no possibility of losing.

It seems to be a sour complaint, but Dong Zhuo tried his best to elevate Sun Jian and belittle Sun Jian in this rumor. It is not difficult to guess what General Dangkou's attitude will be when he learns of this rumor.

If you hate Dong Zhuo, you can't run, and Dong Zhuo doesn't care about being hated by him, in addition, Sun Jian, who has nothing to do with this matter, will also be hated by Zhou Shen.

Yes, discord!

Li Confucian's first plan to teach Dong Zhuo was to divide the relationship between the general Zhou Shen and the deputy general Sun Jian. There is no need for the two to turn against each other, as long as Zhou Shen has a pimple in his heart towards Sun Jian, and subconsciously does not want to listen to Sun Jian's kind advice, this is enough.

As for the rest. Li Ru pointed out a fact that Dong Zhuo ignored in the letter very seriously: Do you really think that Han Sui will have no strength to fight back?

Li Ru pointed out in the letter that it was inevitable that Han Sui would lose to Huangfu Song before, in fact, even if he changed people, he could win, but it was not as beautiful as Huangfu Song's victory.

Why?

Because the logistics of Han Sui's 100,000 Qiang soldiers were too difficult.

You must know that Huangfu Song is defending directly at the door of the house, and behind Meiyang is Luoyang, and grain and grass are not a problem at all.

And what about Han Sui?

Han Sui belonged to the forces of Song Yang, the king of the Han Dynasty in Heshouping, and the nests of this force were in Wuwei County and Jincheng County.

Therefore, unless it is captured in one fell swoop. Otherwise, as long as the morale of the Qiang soldiers is weakened, there will be no possibility of achieving further results.

However, now Han Sui returned to Jincheng County after the defeat. That's his territory, Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen traveled thousands of miles to pursue, is it really Han Sui a soft persimmon?

This point-to-the-point judgment, even Dong Zhuo was silent for a long time, unable to refute it. After all, when Han Sui was in Longxi, he and Li Ru suffered losses, and he was definitely not an easy character to deal with.

After figuring it out. Dong Zhuo launched an operation according to Li Ru's plan: after releasing rumors to divide the relationship between Zhou Shen and Sun Jian, he led the army to rush more than 100 miles, and ran deep into the hinterland of the enemy army to run in front of Zhou Shen, lest when Han Sui attacked Zhou Shen's army, he Dong Zhuo had to hesitate whether to save or not.

What the? Why do you say that Han Sui will deal with Dong Zhuo first?

This is very simple, if Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen's armies are not far apart, I believe that Han Sui will never be stupid enough to send them to the door; However, if the two armies are far apart, "each defeat" has always been the most common strategy of generals.

As for why Han Sui would deal with Zhou Shen first instead of Dong Zhuo, hehe, one is a defeated general who doesn't know the so-called subordinates, and the other is a difficult guy who has dealt with him several times, as long as Han Sui is not stupid, he will definitely choose Zhou Shen, who is easy to deal with.

Undoubtedly!

The development of the situation was not as expected by Li Ru, Zhou Shen did not listen to Sun Jian's advice, and finally suffered another defeat, and Dong Zhuo was purely wandering around Han Sui's territory and running away. In addition, when Dong Zhuo ran away, Han Sui did not send troops to pursue, obviously the latter was aware of Dong Zhuo's difficulty, and in line with the idea that more things are better than less, he did not entangle with Dong Zhuo, after all, the first thing Han Sui did after returning to Jincheng was to solve the Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng and Hanyang Taishou Fu Xie, who were stirring up trouble in his territory, not Dong Zhuo, the evil Jiao who clearly came to fight soy sauce.

This is tacit understanding!

In the absence of necessity, Han Sui and Dong Zhuo will not easily provoke each other. After all, today's enemy is very likely to be tomorrow's ally, take Dong Zhuo as an example, as long as Han Sui does not attack his Longxi, the stronger Han Sui develops, the more beneficial it is for Dong Zhuo's Longxi, this is the so-called self-respect!

As for Han Sui, most of them also thought of this, so they turned a blind eye and let Dong Zhuo go, after all, Dong Zhuo and him are not real enemies, and for a long time to come, they will still be neighbors, and too much trouble is not conducive to the development of both sides.

As a result, Dong Zhuo didn't have a, but Zhou Shen became the target of Han Sui's killing of chickens and monkeys, in order to deter the Han court from continuing to send troops to encircle and suppress him.

At this time, Dong Zhuo can be regarded as raising his eyebrows. In the case of two successive defeats, even General He Jin could not protect General Zhou Shen. Taking a step back, even if it can be saved, will He Jin still be cautious? You must know that in the event of this advance pursuit. Zhou Shen, who returned in embarrassment after losing his troops, has become the best foil for Dong Zhuo, who escaped from Han Sui's 100,000-strong army without injuring a single soldier.

However, Zhang Huang also had some doubts about this matter, that is, why Li Ru would support Dong Zhuo's approach.

Later, when he met Li Ru again, Li Ru explained to Zhang Huang: As far as the situation at that time was concerned. Unless the imperial court spends huge manpower and material resources to fight with Han Sui city by city, it is absolutely impossible to win by sneak attack alone, after all, Jincheng and Wuwei are Han Sui's territory, and it is no less difficult to fight Han Sui there than Han Sui's previous attack on Meiyang.

But the problem is that today's imperial court has suffered a great loss of vitality due to the relationship between the "Yellow Peril", and it has no spare strength to start such a large-scale confrontation with Han Sui.

Therefore, at that time, Li Ru concluded that the counterattack of the imperial army against Han Sui and the Bianzhang rebel army was just a flash in the pan, and once it was confirmed that the two counties of Wuwei and Jincheng were difficult to conquer, the imperial court would inevitably accept it. Anyway, the Xiliang Rebellion has not been chaotic for a day or two, not for a while, didn't you see that Situ Cui Lie was interested in persuading the Son of Heaven to give up Liangzhou?

To put it bluntly, as long as Han Sui and the other rebels stay in Xiliang and don't make trouble, it is impossible for the imperial court to spend a lot of effort to fight with Han Sui.

In other words, even if Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen achieved any advantages in the early stage, it would be useless, because the imperial court did not have the financial resources and manpower to support a large-scale battle.

Since this is the case, Li Ru simply didn't think about how to make Dong Zhuo shine in the battle, and he adopted another way to highlight Dong Zhuo: since he couldn't elevate Dong Zhuo. Then pull Zhou Shen down, and you can also be judged!

And this is precisely the real reason why Zhang Huang admires Li Ru and sincerely sighs that Li Ru is worthy of being a poisoner.

It's like there's a joke. When two people are chased by a bear, there is no need to run too fast, as long as they run faster than their companions.

If you can't win the enemy, you will pit your allies!

Facts have proved that Li Ru's vision is really vicious.

Not long after Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen returned to Zhang Wen's army, news came from the imperial court: there was no need to pursue the rebels. Try to recover Fufu County as much as possible.

At the same time, Han Sui also seemed to realize that their foundation was unstable, so he no longer had the luxury of attacking Luoyang, and intensively consolidated his power in the western part of Hanyang County and Fufeng County, built more passes, and garrisoned the garrison, and divided the land with the Han court.

Seeing that Han Sui took the initiative to stop fighting, the Han court really did not attack again, and in less than a month, the commander Zhang Wen was recalled to Luoyang, and the other seventy percent of the army was also recalled, and the remaining army was taken over by Xia Yu, the captain of Huqiang, and was stationed in Fufeng County instead of Zhang Wen to prevent Han Sui from attacking again.

The two sides chose a truce with a tacit understanding, as for the Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng and Hanyang Taishou Fu Xie, they were still fighting Han Sui, hoping to restore the local central sovereignty, but the imperial court chose a truce, and no one was optimistic about them.

Everyone can see that the imperial court did not achieve the expected results in this battle, so they are not ready to fight anymore, as for Geng Yi and Fu Xie, who are still working hard for this, they are equivalent to being given up by the imperial court.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that if they do well, the imperial court will raise troops to encircle and suppress Han Sui again, but unfortunately, Han Sui is not so easy to deal with.

To get back to the point, after Zhang Wen was recalled to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo and others also returned to Beijing one after another to resume their lives after handing over the army to Xia Yu, the captain of Huqiang, including Zhou Shen, the general who was defeated in two battles and had no merit in this battle.

Seeing Zhou Shen's messy beard and pale and bloodless embarrassed appearance, Dong Zhuo's heart was very happy, and he couldn't wait to laugh a few times.

But there was only one person left in the crowd, and that was the general Zuo Huang Fu Song, in the latest appointment issued by the imperial court, Huang Fu Song was ordered to garrison the imperial cemetery, the reason was to prevent a villain with wolf ambitions like Han Sui from attacking the imperial tomb again.

But everyone guessed that this was just an excuse, and they didn't need to think about it to understand that Huangfu Song, as the most dazzling hero in this battle, General He Jin would never recall him back to Jingshi.

In the name of "filial piety", it is just a disguised distribution and demotion. If nothing else, before General He Jin completely controls the military, as long as there are no major changes in the imperial court in the future, it is absolutely impossible for Huangfu Song to return to the Beijing Division.

Regarding the lonely fate of this fierce rival, Rao is Dong Zhuo was also embarrassed and sighed. is obviously the most skilled general in the court, but he is used to guard the cemetery for the Son of Heaven, which is really ridiculous!

However, just when Dong Zhuo felt sorry for his rival Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song, who is the party concerned, is regretting another person.

"It's a pity Fu Xie!"

That was Zhang Huang's emotion when he said goodbye to Huang Fu Song before leaving, and Huang Fu Song inadvertently. In these days, to be honest, Zhang Huang learned a lot from Huangfu Song, especially Huang Fu Song's core idea of "the master uses yang to conspire, supplemented by treachery". Since it has been favored. Zhang Huang should treat Huangfu Song with courtesy, and it is the least that he will say goodbye to Huangfu Song in person before leaving.

"Fu Xie? The new Hanyang Taishou? Zhang Huang asked suspiciously, a little unimpressed in his words, after all, he hadn't heard much of this person.

Huangfu Song seemed to see the disdain in Zhang Huang's heart, shook his head and said, "When I was begging for the yellow scarf before. This person was once a Sima ...... in our army."

Sima in the army? Jun Sima?!

Zhang Huang was slightly stunned, and immediately raised Fu Xie's opinion a few points in the letter.

Huang Fu Song's joining the army, and he was praised by Huang Fu Song, that's amazing!

In history, when Huangfu Song crusaded against the Yellow Turban, there were two wise and brave heroes who assisted him, one was Yan Zhong, a native of Hanyang, who joined the army, and the other was Fu Xie, a military Sima and a native of the North.

Huang Fu Song didn't like Yan Zhong, because this guy was purely patting the horse's legs, and he actually suggested that Huang Fu Song take the opportunity to support the army and respect himself when Huang Fu Song successfully destroyed the Yellow Turban. Seize the opportunity to dominate the south.

Think what kind of loyal person Huang Fu Song is to the court and the Son of Heaven? He reprimanded Yan Zhong, and Yan Zhong fled with a red face, and as a result, he fled to Xiliang and became a famous man in Liangzhou, that is, even Han Sui wanted to rob and coerce him to be the commander of the rebels. However, Yan Zhongning refused to obey, died of resentment, and he was angry with himself.

The other is today's Hanyang Taishou Fu Xie, in history, this person is as tough as Huangfu Song. refused to pay bribes to the eunuchs, and repeatedly impeached the eunuchs to Liu Hong, the son of heaven, not only was he very famous, but he could also be called "Jane in the heart of the emperor". He is one of the very few officials in Liu Hong's heart who is wholeheartedly trusted.

But this Uncle Fu Xie Fu is too upright, even after repeatedly offending the eunuchs, the eunuch leader Zhao Zhong sent his younger brother Zhao Yan, the captain of the city gate, to win him over and threaten him, he still didn't give the other party a good face, and in turn taught Zhao Yan a righteous lesson.

So after Fu Xie's rhetoric criticized Situ Cuilie's proposal to abandon Xiliang, Zhao Zhong saw that he could not miss the opportunity. He designed to transfer Fu Xie out of Beijing and move him to the Taishou of Hanyang County, Liangzhou.

Unlike the stubborn guy who is contemptuous of Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng, Fu Xie is indeed a rare talent, after taking office, he sympathized with the people and recruited the Qiang people who rebelled, many Qiang people were moved by him, and went to Hanyang to surrender, and for a time became Han Sui's most feared opponent, not unhappy.

Later, when Liangzhou assassinated Shi Geng, he was anxious for quick success, but died because of infighting in the army. It is extremely incredible that when the rebel leader Wang Guo, who was with Han Sui, attacked Fu Xie, there were thousands of Qiang horsemen under the kingdom who kowtowed outside the city to beg Fu Xie to surrender out of the city, and even the kingdom sent the former Jiuquan County Taishou Huang Yan into the city to persuade him to surrender, but Fu Xie would rather die than surrender, and finally died in battle.

Afterwards, Geng's subordinate Ma Teng also defected to Han Sui, and jointly promoted Wang Guowei with Han Sui, mastering the entire Liangzhou for the first time.

And Huangfu Song was not reactivated by the imperial court until that time, and continued to play the role of firefighting and sent troops to Liangzhou again to conquer the kingdom.

It's a pity that at that time, because of the killing of General He Jin, Dong Zhuo, who assisted Huangfu Song, was recalled to Beijing, so he failed to completely exterminate the rebel forces in Liangzhou.

At the time of farewell, Zhang Huang finally couldn't help but ask Huangfu Song a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"When the general was in Yingchuan and Runan, why did he build a 'Jingguan'?"

Hearing this question suddenly, Rao is Huangfu Song couldn't help but be taken aback, and looked at Zhang Huang's extremely serious expression thoughtfully.

Zhang Huang didn't speak, just looked at Huangfu Song quietly. For some reason, he was a little nervous, maybe he was subconsciously afraid of hearing an answer from Huangfu Song that he didn't want to hear.

After a long time, Huangfu Song slowly spit out two words: "Build momentum!" ”

"Momentum?"

Huangfu Song let out a long breath, and said slowly with his hands behind his back: "At that time, the yellow scarves in the world were known as millions, and Zhu Jun and I only had tens of thousands in our hands, and the punishment was not enough to deter the thieves!" …… I want the thieves to remember that my Emperor Fu Song is thirsty for killing, and those who face me will be killed! ”

Zhang Huang couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Huangfu Song's approach was nothing more than to improve his notoriety, so that the Yellow Turban Army would be frightened when they met him, and they would no longer have the will to fight.

"What about the captives?"

Hearing this, Huangfu Song glanced at Zhang Huang again, and said calmly: "At that time, our army was in a hurry day and night, and there were only three days of rations in the army, so it was inconvenient to leave prisoners, so they were slaughtered. ”

Listening to Huangfu Song's calm answer, Zhang Huang's mood was very complicated. I remember that he was angry when he saw those Yellow Turban soldiers who had a tragic end, but now when he heard Huangfu Song's decent answer, he couldn't have the slightest thought of hating Huang Fu Song.

Just like Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao troops, as generals, they should first do their duty for their subordinates, their own country, and their own lord. When necessary, kill decisively, this is the general!

Did the general ever feel guilty?

Zhang Huang really wanted to ask this question, but he didn't dare, because he was afraid that Huangfu Song would see something from it.

However, Zhang Huang can guess the answer by himself with his understanding of Huangfu Song.

Even if there will be hesitation or mercy, but in order to win the victory and end the war as soon as possible, even if Huangfu Song is asked to kill more enemy soldiers, he will kill him, because this is a real general.

"Farewell, General!"

"Hmm. …… told Dong Zhongying that Zhou Shen's injustice was unforgivable, but he ...... Do it yourself! ”

"Hehe, okay."

Zhang Huang nodded with a smile, but his mind flew to another place.

Because tomorrow, through Dong Zhuo's relationship, he will set foot in the capital again in Luoyang, the place where the dragons and tigers who fled in embarrassment at the beginning.

There, there is his greatest enemy in this life, the fifth palace yuan! (To be continued.) )
