Chapter 191: Two Months

In history, the Jizhou battlefield during the Yellow Turban Uprising was actually divided into two stages, the first battle was the Guangzong Campaign, and the second battle was the Quyang Campaign.

In the autumn of the seventh year of Guanghe, Zuo Zhonglang presented Huangfu Song to future generations in accordance with history, and cooperated with Dong Zhuo, the commander of the Northern Army, to conquer Guangzong in one go, and as many as 120,000 yellow turbans in the city had no choice but to break through under the unfavorable situation of the battle, and opened a thousand-mile escape under the cover of the Sanhe cavalry under the command of Huangfu Song.

In the end, Huangfu Song presented a good news to the imperial court with the amazing record of killing 30,000 people and drowning 50,000 people.

In November, Huangfu Song, who went north again, with the assistance of Julu Taishou Guo Dian, started the second battle of the Jizhou battlefield, that is, the Battle of Quyang with Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao's Quyang was not as good as Guangzong, and was attacked by Huangfu Song within a few days, during which Zhang Bao was killed, and more than 100,000 Yellow Turban recruits became prisoners.

It is no exaggeration to say that after Huangfu Song, a famous general from Yanmen, he became the first general in the world after this "Yellow Peril", and the darling in the eyes of the imperial court was in the limelight for a while.

"The angels are coming, the angels are coming!"

In the makeshift military camp near Quyang, Huangfu Song's nephew Huangfu Li broke into the tent in a hurry.

In the tent, many military attachΓ©s of the generals pricked up their ears and looked at the eunuchs who walked in from outside the tent after Huangfu Li with wide eyes, and their faces were also filled with joy that could not be concealed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Zuo Zhonglang will be Huangfu Song, worship the general of the chariot cavalry, lead the Jizhou pastor, and seal the Huaili Marquis ......"

When the eunuch read the most exciting reward in this holy decree, many of the generals under the command of Huangfu Song were happy for their commander, and even a few generals couldn't help but say hello loudly.

However, there was not much joy on Huangfu Song's face, because in his opinion, this "yellow periina" had not yet come to an end.

And looking at the meaning of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, it seems that he intends to end this turmoil as much as possible?

How does this make it?!

You know, but there are still many "Huang Rebellion" who have escaped and disappeared!

For example, Zhang Liang, who calls himself "General Rengong". Zhang Sheng, Zhang Baiqi, known as the "Little Heavenly Master", Bu Si, the leader of the Huang Rebellion in Dongjun, and Guo Tai and Zhang Yan, the young generals of the Huang Rebellion who became famous in Guangzong......

In Huangfu Song's view, the most important thing at present is to order the states and counties of the world to be wanted and capture these "remnants of the Yellow Rebellion", and continue to attack the Yellow Turban forces that are still left in the world, and we must do everything possible to eliminate the evil. Otherwise, today's weakness will become tomorrow's woe.

"I don't know how Your Majesty will deal with the remnants of Huang Rebellion?" Huangfu Song asked.

Probably seeing something, the eunuch said in a low voice. "The Son of Heaven thinks about it, the court thinks about it, and the people think about it...... Please take the order, General Huangfu. ”

Huangfu Song understood as soon as he heard it, it turned out that Liu Hong, the son of heaven, and the hundred officials of the imperial court didn't want to continue to be dragged to death in the mud of the yellow scarf, and wanted to get out as soon as possible.

The reason is very simple, this Son of Heaven Liu Hong himself is not a Ming Jun, plus Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs instigated by the side, if it is not a great chaos in the world, otherwise this Son of Heaven will definitely not affect his enjoyment; As for the hundred officials of the imperial court. It is believed that this year's conquest has made the already not abundant treasury even more tired, and it is unable to continue.

"Please return to the angel and ask your majesty to return to Luoyang, and you want Huang Rebellion!"

After figuring it out, Huangfu Song could only sigh and accept the reward. And out of consideration for being a courtier, he proposed the most suitable for the current construction.

As for whether the Son of Heaven accepts it, just looking at the wryly smiling and perfunctory attitude of the eunuch in front of him, he knows that the son of today doesn't care much about this kind of construction.

Prevent micro problems and be prepared for danger in times of peace. The Son of Heaven, whose mind is full of pleasures, will not understand.

"Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain......"

Seeing the angel turn away, Huangfu Song stood up with the holy decree in his hand and let out a long sigh.

In fact. He raised several of his doubts to Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, and the hundred officials of the imperial court, such as the tens of thousands of Dongjun Yellow Turbans who disappeared, and the backbone of Guangzong Yellow Turbans who successfully broke through and escaped. Huangfu Song intuitively believed that the great victory was not based on the fact that he and Dong Zhuo joined forces to defeat the Guangzong Yellow Turban, but that the Guangzong Yellow Turban had to choose to forcibly break through for a certain purpose.

And now, he has understood the intention of Guangzong Yellow Turban at that time, that is, to break it into pieces and lurk in the people again.

Huangfu Song told the Son of Heaven and the court the message of this threat, but it seemed that the latter could not take it seriously, perhaps in the eyes of the Son of Heaven and the officials of the court, since the Yellow Peril had been quelled, the goal had been achieved, and there was no need to add more snakes.

"Rats! It's really a rat! ”

Casually handed the holy decree to his nephew Huangfu Li, Huangfu Song sighed and shook his head and walked out of the tent.

At this moment, Huangfu Song was very dissatisfied with the judgment of the imperial court, but in fact, regardless of the plan of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, the judgment reached by the hundred officials of the court and the central government was actually nothing to dispute.

Huangfu Song didn't know that at the same time that he tried his best to quell the "Yellow Peril", the Xiliang Rebellion also broke out.

The Xiliang Rebellion began in the rebellion of the two Qiang people in Beidi County, Anding County, Jincheng County, Longxi County, Caohan, Heguan and other places, and the Han Dynasty was trapped in the quagmire of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and could not extricate, so it hurriedly recruited a mercenary army to quell the rebellion, called "Huangzhong Yicong", led by Leng Zheng, the captain of Huqiang.

What no one expected was that the "Huangzhong Yicong", composed of the Qiang people and the Xiaoyue clan, actually defected and joined the rebels, and even killed Leng Zheng, the captain of the Qiang Guard.

The situation escalated, and the two Qiang rebels merged with Huangzhong Yicong, and elected the former Huangzhong Yicong soldiers Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou as generals, officially starting the Qiang rebellion against the Han.

In just over a month, the rebels conquered Jincheng because the new Liangzhou assassin Shi Zuochang encroached on the defense military funds and the rescue army was not enough.

At that time, there was a famous general named Gai Xun under Zuo Chang's command, who was hated by the latter for persuading Zuo Chang, and sent him to lead the army to garrison Ayang County, Hanyang County, and face the rebels.

Zuo Chang originally thought that Gai Xun would definitely lose the battle, even if he did not die in battle, he could be executed by military law after he returned.

Seeing that Ayang County could not be breached, the rebels turned to attack Jincheng County and captured two very key figures, one was the Liangzhou Overseer, Xin'an County Commander Bian Yun, and the other was Liangzhou Han Yue.

Some people may be very unfamiliar with these two names, but in fact, it was these two people who directly led to the loss of the Han court's control of Xiliang for more than ten years. It wasn't until Cao Cao mastered that he personally conquered Xiliang.

Afterwards, Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, went to the rebel camp to negotiate the release of the hostages, but was killed by the rebels. And the most critical thing is that Bian Yun of Xin'an County and Liangzhou were persuaded to join the rebels by Han Yue, who was in Xin'an County. In addition, Bian Yun was elected as the leader of the rebels.

A few days later, Bian Yun, the new leader of the rebel army who was forced to take the throne, attacked Zhiji County under the coercion of Song Yang, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, the leaders of "Huangzhong Yicong". After Gai Xun arrived with his army, he met Bian Yun and Han Yue on the battlefield, and scolded them for treason and defection to the enemy.

At that time, Bian Yun and Han Yue wept and said, If Zuo Chang had listened to you earlier, he would have sent troops to rescue Jincheng County. Maybe we can mend our ways, but now we are too guilty to surrender.

On the same day, Bian Yun and Han Yue led their troops to leave, temporarily lifting the siege of Ji County. On the same day, they changed their names to Bian Zhang and Han Sui.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui, who were originally a martial artist and a writer in Liangzhou, became the leaders of the Xiliang rebels and launched a campaign with the Han court for more than ten years. (At first it was only slightly better than a golem.) The real ruler is "Huangzhong Yicong". It wasn't until later that Han Sui managed to kill the rest of the people and monopolize power. Therefore, it is undeniable that Han Sui is also a true hero. οΌ‰

Don't doubt the influence of Bian Zhang and Han Sui after joining the rebels, you must know that these two have defeated Zhang Wen, Huangfu Song, and Dong Zhuo successively. The strength of the army can be seen.

And right now, Bian Zhang and Han Sui are planning to attack the important places of Sanfu and approach the royal garden in the name of killing the official eunuchs. Therefore, the imperial court decided to put an end to the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the east. planned a counterattack against the Xiliang rebels, so for the time being, there was no spare strength to carry out further hunting and killing of the Yellow Turban remnants, resulting in people like Zhang Huang, Zhang Liang, and the historical Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and Runan Yellow Turbans escaping by luck.

I have to say. This situation is simply happy for Zhang Huang, because if the Xiliang Rebellion does not break out, the Yellow Turban forces to which he belongs will inevitably be uprooted by the imperial court, and now, the Yellow Turban forces can take advantage of this golden opportunity to accumulate strength again and wait for the opportunity to move.

But then again, before the Yellow Turban forces have enough strength, Zhang Huang can be regarded as temporarily "unemployed", after all, compared to him, Zhang Liang, the artificial general who was "deceased" in the imperial court's announcement to the world, is obviously more suitable for underground work than him, so Zhang Huang happily threw all the affairs to Zhang Liang, and temporarily broke away from the Yellow Turban Army's large team easily.

At first, Zhang Huang wanted to visit Cai Yan, a confidante who was sent back to Cai Yong by Zhang Liang, but when he arrived in Hedong, he learned that the Cai and Wei families had canceled the marriage for various reasons, and Cai Yan, under the protection of the Cai family, was sent back to his father Cai Yong's mansion in Ruoyang with his sister Cai Wan.

According to insiders, the Wei and Cai families turned against each other because of this incident and have not been in contact with each other since.

Knowing this, Zhang Huang couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, after all, the cancellation of the marriage contract between the Wei and Cai families meant that his intended person Cai Yan was no longer the nominal daughter-in-law of the Wei family, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Huang was a little worried about Cai Yan's current situation, after all, this ill-fated talented woman in history was sent back to the Cai family by the Wei family this time, you can imagine how much white eyes and contempt she will suffer, even if it is her father Cai Yong, I am afraid that she will be angry because her daughter was "taken captive by thieves for several months".

At this time, going to visit Cai Yong in Luoyang was definitely not a smart decision for Zhang Huang. Because it is very likely that Zhang Huang will never be able to retreat after stepping into Luoyang, after all, in Luoyang, there is an enemy who is so powerful that Zhang Huang is terrified, the fifth palace yuan.

Tangled and entangled, Zhang Huang simply went to visit Dong Zhuo first. After all, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo has also returned to his place and re-assumed the post of Hedong Taishou, and now Zhang Huang is on the ground in Hedong, and if he doesn't visit this Dong Taishou, he can't be honest, you must know that he still owes this Dong Taishou a great favor.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were a little surprised by Zhang Huang's presumptuous visit, after all, Zhang Huang is now a Yellow Turban remnant giant who is wanted by the imperial court for 100,000 gold, and it is hard to imagine how this boy who is not as old as the weak crown has the courage to knock on the door of the Hedong County Governor's Mansion.

"Aren't you afraid that I will take you to ask for merit from the court and ask for the 100,000 gold?"

After taking his seat, Dong Zhuo said to Zhang Huang half-jokingly. It is no exaggeration to say that 100,000 gold is not only for ordinary people, but also for him, after all, it is 100,000 gold, which is enough to build a heavy cavalry similar to the Tun cavalry battalion.

"Uncle, will you?" Zhang Huang replied with a calm expression.

It's not that he is extremely confident that he can escape with the joint efforts of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, the key is that he is convinced that Dong Zhuo will never do this. After all, this true hero is notoriously generous and bold towards his subordinates.

Well, except for the matter of treating Lu Bu and Diao Chan.

In fact, Zhang Huang couldn't figure it out, would a heroic man like Dong Zhuo really give up the loyalty of a fierce general like Lu Bu because of a beautiful woman? It's just puzzling.

"What a spirit!"

After glancing at Li Ru, Dong Zhuo gave a thumbs up and praised Zhang Huang's courage.

Indeed, he would not do that, because Dong Zhuo felt that his friendship with Zhang Huang was definitely better than that of 100,000 taels of gold. This is the vision of a great hero, and the importance of a heroic hero to the younger generation of heroes.

Chatted a few words. The two sides will inevitably talk about the Battle of Guangzong, and Dong Zhuo can't help but be a little embarrassed about this.

"Huang boy, don't blame me for the battle of Guangzong, with that Huangfu Song here, the uncle doesn't dare to ......"

"I know that." Zhang Huang interrupted Dong Zhuo's words and took the initiative to be relieved. In fact, he didn't blame Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo had done enough for the agreement between the two of them, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. The Northern Army has long been wiped out, and there may be nothing to do with Huangfu Song after that, unless he is strong enough to defeat more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans with thousands of soldiers and horses under his command.

It can only be said that the yellow scarf is unlucky and doomed. No one's to blame.

"Have you thought about your future plans?"

Poured a glass of wine for Zhang Huang, Dong Zhuo asked casually.

Presumably, he could also see that Zhang Huang was mostly doing nothing these days, otherwise. Nor will I think of visiting him.

Sure enough, after hearing Dong Zhuo's question, Zhang Huang shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile. "I haven't thought about it yet...... Anyway, find a place to hide and avoid the limelight. …… What about the uncle? If you win my Yellow Turban, what rewards do you have in the court? ”

"Reward?" Hearing this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sneer.

"No reward?" Zhang Huang was surprised.

Seeing this, Li Ru explained to Zhang Huang. It turned out that the imperial court was very protective of Dong Zhuo and would never reward him lightly, and it was precisely because he knew this that Dong Zhuo simply did not contribute to the work when he was conscripting the Yellow Turban. Especially after reaching a tacit understanding with Zhang Huang, he gave the yellow scarf a few victories in vain.

And now that Huangfu Song has quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court's treatment of Dong Zhuo is to "make up for the merits", neither rewarding him for assisting Huangfu Song in quelling the rebellion, nor pursuing his previous defeats. He is still his Hedong Taishou, no better than Huangfu Song, promoted to general of the chariot cavalry, and became the most powerful general in the military after the general.

"Uncle's life is not easy."

After listening to Li Ru's explanation, Zhang Huang said with a smile. Who would have thought that in the future, the powerful and powerful Taishi Dong would also have this period of grievances full of resentment.

"Not really!" As soon as he mentioned this, the expression on Dong Zhuo's face became a little colder, and he said indignantly and coldly, "Those sour masters in the imperial court don't treat Lao Tzu as a human being at all, they are purely acting as cattle......

"There is another big movement in the imperial court?" Zhang Huang poured a glass of wine for Dong Zhuo.

"Liangzhou." Dong Zhuo took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and said coldly, "I heard that Bian Zhang and Han Sui reversed and forced Sanfu, and the meaning of the imperial court is to ask me to resist...... Why?! ”

"That's because the imperial court is afraid that you will secretly communicate with Bian Zhang and Han Sui, so they simply call you and others as enemies first, and prevent future troubles." Li Ru analyzed slowly and methodically.

"Aren't you afraid that Lao Tzu will rebel?" Dong Zhuo said with a sneer.

Glancing at the angry Dong Zhuo, Li Ru sighed and said faintly, "Don't forget that you are only the vanguard, and the army led by Taiwei Zhang Wen is the main force...... Although the yellow scarf has greatly damaged the vitality of the imperial court, it is undeniable that the imperial court still has the strength to sweep away my Longxi, and it is really unwise to be the enemy of the imperial court at this time! ”

Li Ru's calm analysis finally extinguished the anger in Dong Zhuo's heart, making him realize that now is not the time when he can cover the sky with one hand, but even so, Dong Zhuo is still angry in his heart.

"Humph! In this case, simply send a few more defeats! ”

Dong Zhuo's irrational words made Li Ru roll his eyes. However, Zhang Huang next to him listened with relish, with an interested expression.

Dong Zhuo inadvertently noticed Zhang Huang's expression, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said tentatively, "Boy, are you so interested?" ”

[What interest?] The interest of the Han court? ]

Zhang Huang was stunned when he heard this, and did not answer immediately.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo thought that he was still hesitating, so he persuaded, "Anyway, you don't have any plans these days, how about going to Xiliang with Lao Dong and me?" As far as I know, Zhang Wen, Huangfu Song, and Sun Jian, who you have befriended, will all rush to Xiliang one after another...... Don't you want to see it? ”

[Meet the Emperor Fu Song who swept away my yellow scarf?] Even Dong Zhuo is convinced of the famous general? ]

Zhang Huang didn't feel a little moved.

On the side, Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo in surprise, and immediately looked at Zhang Huang with a somewhat expectant gaze. In his opinion, although Zhang Huang is not as weak as the crown, it is undeniable that this son must be the leader of the young generation in the world, and he certainly hopes that Dong Zhuo can take this opportunity to take this young man who will inevitably grow into a hero in the future under his command, which is simply beneficial and harmless for their grand cause.

"Interested?" Dong Zhuo tempted again, he thought that people like Zhang Huang would never be willing to be lonely, people like them were destined to be athletes who galloped on the battlefield and were full of brilliance!

After getting Dong Zhuo's solicitation, Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel a little moved, after all, he really had nothing to do at the moment, but he was still a little hesitant, after all, he was now a key criminal wanted by the imperial court for 100,000 taels of gold, and if one was exposed, he and Dong Zhuo would be in big trouble.

"My identity ......"

As if seeing through Zhang Huang's hesitation, Dong Zhuo smiled and waved his hand, and said firmly, "This doesn't matter, I have a henchman in Longxi who will have the same surname as you, his nephew died early, and I asked him to recognize you as a nephew when I turned around, and in the future, you will be used under my command in this capacity, even if someone suspects, I will never guess your true identity." ”

"That's a good idea!" Zhang Huang stroked his palm and responded to this matter.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed in his heart, touched his beard and smiled, "Since this is the case, you will change your name from today on......" Speaking of this, the smile on his face froze, and he looked back at Li Ru and asked in a low voice, "Aru, what is Zhang Ji's nephew's name?" ”

[Zhang Ji?] ]

Zhang Huang was stunned in his heart, and before he could react, he saw Li Ru looking at Dong Zhuo and shaking his head helplessly, opening his mouth and slowly spit out a name.

"Zhang Xiu!" (To be continued......)
