An alien stone fell into Han Sui's Qiang camp at night, causing Dong Zhuo to take the opportunity to sneak attack the Qiang camp successfully, although this seems to be a lucky victory, but for those in the know, this is precisely Han Sui's luck.

You must know that if there is no extraterrestrial stone, Huangfu Song will definitely be able to consume Han Sui's 100,000 Qiang soldiers alive and severely damage the Qiang and Hu tribes in the northwest border.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Huangfu Song can successfully kill all the 100,000 Qiang and Hu warriors this time, the northwest border of the Han Dynasty will at least be able to get peace for at least ten years.

There is also Song Yang, the king of the Han Dynasty in Heshou, who took advantage of the weakness of the Han Dynasty to rebel, and is currently the most powerful anti-thief in the world, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit firmly in his position as the anti-king.

"It's a pity."

Regarding this change, Huangfu Song, who came to inspect after dawn, sighed regretfully after learning about the situation.

But having said that, although this "change in the sky" allowed Han Sui to finally grit his teeth and admit defeat and withdraw his troops back to Jincheng County, because the change happened very suddenly, even if Han Sui failed to reduce the casualties, Dong Zhuo finally obtained a relatively rich result.

You must know that since he realized that the general He Jin planned to rectify the huge army, Dong Zhuo changed his original idea of wanting to make a stumbling block for the Han army, and was eager to gain credit in this battle and take refuge in He Jin as a capital to enter the army.

However, in last night's night attack, Dong Zhuo also breathed a little depressed, but unfortunately failed to capture the rebel leaders Han Sui and Bian Zhang.

Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, Zhang Huang, Huangfu Li, a large group of people surrounded the huge pit that was smashed by the stone outside the sky, and watched with great interest.

In this era when the concept of "divine power" is deeply rooted, the world attaches great importance to the gaffe of such a "star falling from the sky".

Such special "celestial phenomena" are generally considered by the world to be a warning from heaven to mortals. If there is a drought or flood, the Son of Heaven must also draw up an edict for himself; Even if there is a harmless celestial phenomenon such as a solar and lunar eclipse. The three princes of the court also had to resign en masse, innocently carrying this black cauldron, in order to prevent the people of the world from rioting due to panic, who made the study of astronomy extremely imperfect in this era.

Seeing that even heroes like Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were staring at the huge pit with a solemn face, Zhang Huang felt sincerely amused.

Anyway, he has been really hit by Huangfu Song these days, and now he has finally regained a little bit of superiority.

"Dig it, dig it!"

With a burst of cheers, the soldiers digging the pit exclaimed.

This exclamation doesn't matter, the edge of the pit that is already crowded is even more impassable by the enclosure. Several times, Zhang Huang was almost squeezed into the pit by the soldiers who were poking their heads out behind him.

After a while, the soldiers who were busy at the bottom of the pit dug up a black iron stone, which was covered with small pits, and it was not good to tell the truth.

However, Zhang Huang knew that this thing that did not look good was called "Star Iron", also known as "Meteorite Iron" (suspected to be Xuantie), which was an iron embryo with more advantages than refined iron and iron iron. Crafted through hard work.

For example, Zhang Huang once got the divine soldier Wu Hook by chance, that is the divine weapon of the ancient Wu Yue area, and it is precisely because of the extraordinary origin that this kind of divine weapon has the special effect of breaking the rigid body of the martial artist.

"That's it?"

Dong Zhuo took the meteorite from the soldier's hand and shook it in his hand. Immediately disdainfully threw it to Zhang Huang beside him.

Coming into contact with this kind of alien object for the first time, Zhang Huang couldn't help but be a little excited, because he had never personally touched such a magical object.

It was heavy, rather heavy to the hand, as if there were almost no impurities in this piece of iron. Zhang Huang knows. This is because during the fall, it rubbed against the atmosphere and burned out some of the combustible materials such as coal inside, turning it into a pure piece of iron, which was far more thorough than forging it with fire. Therefore, it is no wonder that this kind of iron became the first choice for ancient smelters to forge divine weapons.

Repeatedly stroking the surface of the iron, Zhang Huang couldn't put it down, and he couldn't help but fantasize that if he could hide this piece of iron and find a famous smelter to forge it into a weapon in the future, it would definitely be comparable to the existence of a divine soldier.

But unfortunately, all this kind of meteorite falling from the sky must be handed over to the craftsman department of the imperial court, and private individuals are not allowed to hide it. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Dong Zhuo disdained it and threw it to Zhang Huang to open his eyes.

Thinking that this piece of iron pimple treasure would eventually have to be handed over to the imperial court, Zhang Huang's mind was lightened, although he was a little reluctant, he still handed it to the emperor next to him, after all, this lord stared wide-eyed, obviously he was also a master who had never seen the market.

On the other side, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song ignored and stared at Zhang Huang and Huangfu Li, who were amazed by the meteorite, and talked softly.

"Being escaped by Han Sui, I'm afraid this battle will not end in the short term. …… What are your thoughts on this? ”

Dong Zhuo took the initiative to speak, as if he was testing Huangfu Song's meaning.

Hearing this, Huangfu Song glanced at Dong Zhuo and said lightly, "This time I can reverse the disadvantage, it is enough for me to make up for it...... That's enough. ”

"Huh?" Dong Zhuo was a little puzzled when he heard this, because Huangfu Song's words said that he was not ready to participate in the follow-up battle?

Dong Zhuo wanted to ask, but he was stunned when he saw Huangfu Song's self-deprecating, sarcastic, and sneering face. He instinctively sensed that what Huangfu Song was satirizing this time might not be him.

Soon, Dong Zhuo realized that the object of Huangfu Song's ridicule was General Zhou Shen, or the general He Jin behind this person.

It was at a military meeting a few days later, because Zhang Wen had written down this great victory in several times exaggerated ways and sent it to Luoyang, but he didn't expect that the official award sent back by the imperial court was not the Son of Heaven or the old captain Yang Ci, but the general He Jin.

I remember that at the beginning of the Qin and Han dynasties, "Tai Wei" was also known as "Da Sima", which was equivalent to the meaning of "the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses", and the accurate interpretation of "great general" was "general", therefore, "Da Sima" was located above the general, that is, the power of the Taiwei was heavier than that of the general.

But by the end of the Han Dynasty, Taiwei was gradually reduced to a vacant position. Generally, it is held by civilian officials, and their powers are limited to rewarding or punishing a certain general in writing, and they no longer have real power. (By the time of Cao Wei, Da Sima and Tai Wei coexisted, but as an auxiliary title for the Great General, only those with outstanding military achievements could be titled, that is, the Great Sima General.) This phenomenon is similar to that of the Western Han Dynasty. ）

But no matter how there is no real power, the award documents on the table. Generally, it is still issued through the lieutenant, and General He Jin's practice of overstepping his duties and acting on behalf of the general is not very suitable to be honest, and it is easy to be criticized.

What's even more incredible is that this award was not handed over to Zhang Wen, the commander of the Meiyang Army, but to Zhou Shen, the general who had committed a big crime instead of having no military exploits, which couldn't help but make people reverie.

“…… The emperor was reinstated, and he still worshiped General Zuo...... On behalf of His Majesty, he guards the beautiful sun and ensures that the imperial tomb is safe. ”

The whole tent was silently watched. General Zhou Shen finished reading General He Jin's commendation document, and the summary was nothing more than asking everyone to make persistent efforts and reply to the position of General Huangfu Songzuo.

However, the key point is that this commendation order was handed over to Zhou Shen. Even a fool can see the implication in this. What's even more incredible is that the general He Jin actually asked the emperor to guard Meiyang and the imperial tomb, saying that this matter is very important. Who doesn't know that Han Sui has fled back to Jincheng County? What difference can Meiyang and the Imperial Tomb have?

Dong Zhuo glanced at Huangfu Song silently, even if he had never been convinced by Huangfu Song, he couldn't help but feel a little worthless for the latter at this moment.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Because Huangfu Song was too dazzling a while ago, he played Han Sui and other heroes on applause, so General He Jin was bound to suppress him. After all, General He Jin's purpose is to control the entire military, and if Huangfu Song's prestige in the military is too great, it will undoubtedly be a resistance to him.

And Huangfu Song probably also expected this, so he laughed at himself when Dong Zhuo tested him, saying that he would not have his part in the future battle.

Sure enough, he expected it.

"How can it be!" Behind Huangfu Song, his nephew Huangfu angrily breathed fire in his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

However, General He Jin is not as good as General Zhou Shen, let alone him, even his uncle Huangfu Song is difficult to contend with, and Huangfu Li, who knows this truth, has to struggle to suppress the anger in his heart.

Before the rebellion of the "Han Rebellion" was quelled, those bigwigs in the DPRK and China began to fight for merit, and while Dong Zhuo and Zhang Huang secretly sneered, Yuan Peng and Sun Jian, who were loyal to the Han family, shook their heads and sighed behind their backs.

Everyone knows that Huangfu Song's exploits are too dazzling, the previous "Yellow Peril" has made him out of the limelight and become a well-known general in the DPRK and China, if this Han rebellion is also single-handedly arranged by him, I believe that his voice inside and outside the military and the government and the opposition will be higher, so even General He Jin will feel troubled.

As a result, the cunning rabbit has not really been captured, but only a slight lame, and a good bow named "Huangfu Song" was forced to hide deeply, which is also a helpless thing.

As a party concerned, Huangfu Song's attitude towards this is very calm, looking at his calm and calm appearance, he really has a kind of Confucian temperament that does not like things and does not feel sad about himself.

But think about it carefully, if a man like Huangfu Song, who has had many ups and downs, if he didn't have this state of mind of looking down on glory, I'm afraid he would have died of depression due to his bumpy career.

Zhang Huang knows a little bit about Huangfu Song, who was framed by eunuchs and removed from his post as General Zuo after the Yellow Turban Rebellion for impeaching Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's relatives for oppressing the people; In the fifth year of Zhongping, the kingdom of Song Yang, the king of the Han Dynasty in Xilianghe, rebelled, and Huangfu Song worshiped General Zuo to ask for the kingdom, but then he was deposed by Dong Zhuo, who was in power, and even went to prison and almost died. Fortunately, his son Huangfu Shoujian had a deep friendship with Dong Zhuo, so he was saved from death, became a councilor, and was promoted to the imperial historian soon after; After the death of Dong Zhuo in the third year of the first peace, Li Dao and Guo Yan attacked Chang'an successively, and Huangfu Song was the general of the chariot cavalry, but in December, he was deposed again because of the meteor.

It can be said that this kind of ups and downs of official fortune is almost the main theme of Huangfu Song's career.

It is no wonder that Dong Zhuo respects and fears Huangfu Song but also looks down on Huang Fu Song, because Huang Fu Song has always lived a very passive life, and the official career of this military wizard is either pulled out to put out fires, or he is hidden in the middle of the court and does nothing. This is a heroic figure with no ambition, he did not choose to support his own troops when he held heavy troops several times, but silently acted as the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty, unlike the ambitious Dong Zhuo, who also tried to spy on the authority when he only had three thousand Liangzhou cavalry.

Although there is a feeling of sadness like a rabbit dying of a fox. But Huangfu Song was expelled from the game, which was really good news for Dong Zhuo.

Except for Huangfu Song, who here can compare to him?

He could even begin to imagine that he, who would take the initiative to ask Ying to pursue Han Sui later, would definitely be able to take advantage of the favorable conditions created by Huangfu Song to defeat Han Sui and present a hearty victory to General He Jin of the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't bear it anymore, so when Zhang Wen asked everyone about the next military action, he took the lead in standing up and asking for help. I implore you to lead an elite army to pursue Han Sui alone.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou, jumped out to compete with him for the position of a vanguard general.

Why is he?!

Why is he cautious?!

What is the basis of a defeated general?!

Well, people rely on General He Jin to support him in the back. In this case, even Zhang Wen, who is the head coach, is not good at not giving Zhou Shen face.

When he was in a dilemma, Zhang Wen had no choice but to act with the idea of not being offended, and at the same time appointed Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou, and Dong Zhuo, the general of the Broken Prisoners, to each lead an elite army to pursue Han Sui.

"How can it be!"

remembers that Dong Zhuo left with a black face in the end, after all, Zhang Wen's approach made him lose a great opportunity to become famous.

Think about it, if he leads his troops alone to pursue Han Sui, and the trip goes well. Then his prestige is bound to be able to chase after Huangfu Song, who turned the tide and ended the "Yellow Peril", and became an upstart valued by the military and the court.

But now that the Dangkou general Zhou Shen is involved, even if Han Sui is defeated, the effect will be greatly reduced. Not to mention at the end of the year when the meritorious deeds are rewarded. He, Dong Zhuo, may not be able to surpass Zhou Shen, who has the support of General He Jin.

What made Dong Zhuo even more annoyed was that Zhang Wen also seemed to be a little biased towards Zhou Shen, and let Sun Jian serve as Zhou Shen's lieutenant.

Sun Jian: Who is that?

That's a fierce general with superior force and comparable to him Dong Zhuo!

In Dong Zhuo's view, there is Sun Jian to assist. As long as Zhou Shen doesn't make stupid mistakes, he has no reason to be defeated if he doesn't do anything.

The tiger in Jiangdong and the evil Jiao in Longxi. The reputation of this tiger is not something to be talked about casually.

In other words, even if Dong Zhuo's trip is smooth, it will only be a mouthful of soup at most, and he will never be able to eat meat and bones.

After thinking about this, Dong Zhuo even took Zhang Wen with jealousy, and after the meeting ended, he snorted coldly, and led Zhang Huang away, I believe Zhang Wen probably didn't expect that his move to favor General Zhou Shen today because of General He Jin's power would one day bring him death.

"This man is very rude!" Seeing Dong Zhuo's move of brushing his sleeves away with a calm face, Sun Jian's face showed a little displeasure.

Although he also felt that Zhang Wen's bias towards Zhou Shen was a bit inappropriate, after all, Zhou Shen didn't talk about credit before, and the heinous sins were simply unforgivable. In this kind of defeated general, he put Dong Zhuo, who has the greatest credit except for Huangfu Song, and asked them to serve as vanguard generals, Sun Jian also felt that it was a little inappropriate.

But there is no way, who told Zhang Wen to have the grace to support him Sun Jian? In this era, the relationship between the recommender and the referee is no less than that between the teacher and the protégé, which is an important part of the network between superior officials and subordinate officials. For example, Sun Jian, in the eyes of the courtiers, he now belongs to the people of Zhang Wen's family, the captain of the Sili school, unless the two of them turn against each other for something, otherwise this relationship is unbreakable, and one is prosperous and one is lost.

"That's it!"

Zhang Wen waved his hand to signal Sun Jian not to have a seizure, after all, he could also understand Dong Zhuo's mood at the moment.

He had no choice, because even if he was a lieutenant of Si Li, he couldn't afford to offend General He Jin, so in order to avoid Zhou Shen from wearing small shoes for him in the future, he could only favor Zhou Shen. And the result of this attitude is that he will never want to have a relationship with Dong Zhuo again in his life, and even Dong Zhuo will hate him because of it.

Compared with the angry Dong Zhuo, the indignant Sun Jian, and the helpless Zhang Wen, only the general Zhou Shen was the most interested in the entire tent.

At this time, Zhou Shen no longer had the embarrassment of a few days ago, he was heroic and energetic, and he was invincible, this kind of complacency like a villain's ambition made Huangfu Li hate itchy.

It's obviously my uncle's credit, why should such a villain sit and reap the benefits?!

Huangfu Li glanced at his uncle Huangfu Song unwillingly, hoping that the latter could stand up and say a few words, even if he mocked Zhou Shen a few words, he could export his evil anger, right?

But what made Huang Fu Li feel puzzled was that Huang Fu Song calmly left the handsome tent, and he didn't look at the smug Zhou Shen from beginning to end, his eyes looked at Dong Zhuo who was full of anger and walked away, and his tiger eyes were a little complicated.

Just now, Huangfu Song saw separately that Dong Zhuo glanced back at Zhou Shen when he left the tent, and his eyes were unusually cold.

"Dong Zhongying ......"

For some reason, Huangfu Song had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, in just one month, the ominous premonition in Huangfu Song's heart was verified: Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou who had suffered a loss, did not learn a lesson, and was still stubborn and self-serving, he rejected Sun Jian's strategy of "copying a small road to cut off the grain route of Han Sui's army", and wanted to fight with Han Sui slowly step by step, but was attacked by Han Sui on the grain road and returned defeated.

What made Huangfu Song feel worried was that Dong Zhuo seemed to have expected this, so he left Zhou Shenjun's vicinity early and went deep alone.

In this case, no one can blame him for failing to rescue in time.

Of course, Huangfu Song doesn't think much of it, in his opinion, although Han Sui was defeated and withdrew his troops, the troops under his command did not lose too much, in this case, Dong Zhuo should not go deep alone, because if one is not good, there will be a risk of annihilation.

Huang Fu Song never believed that Dong Zhuo would make such a low-level mistake!

Unless...... Unless Dong Zhuo has some ulterior motives!

For example, he had already expected Han Sui's response......

But there is no evidence for this matter.

Because, while Zhou Shen fell into the Han Sui encirclement network and was defeated, Dong Zhuo, who had a deeper marching route than him, actually withdrew without a single soldier in the encirclement of 100,000 troops, saving all his troops.

The evil Jiao of Longxi is very unbelievably in Han Sui's 100,000 army and came back, although he has not built an inch, but compared to Zhou Shen, who was unable to form an army, his "achievements" are obviously much more eye-catching, and people can't help but be stunned.

And this time, Huangfu Song chose to be silent.

Because, he has no evidence......

Yes, there is no evidence. (To be continued......)
