On the tenth day of the third month of the third year of Zhongping, Huangfu Song led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Yiwu, preparing to raise troops to attack and eradicate the base camp of the Xiliang army.

As expected by Dong Shouye, the date that Dong Shouye said at that time was three or five days, and the date of Huangfu Song's arrival was exactly three days later.

Some of Huangfu Song's 30,000 soldiers and horses were the elite of the Northern Army divided by Dong Huang, the commander of the forbidden army, some were the athletes of the Bingzhou divided by Lu Bu, and some were private soldiers contributed by the clans in Chang'an City, as well as some temporary recruits.

For Huangfu Song, who is good at commanding troops, these 30,000 soldiers and horses are enough to deal with Dong Min in Yiwu. Huangfu Song also intersected with Dong Min because of Dong Zhuo's relationship, and knew that the other party was not good at leading troops to fight. And as far as the news received by Huangfu Song is concerned, the current Dong Min only has 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yiwu, and Dong Shouye, the son of Dong Zhuo, led 50,000 horses to confront Han Sui and Ma Teng in Xiliang, and it was difficult to get out for a while.

It's not that Huangfu Song's news is a little lagging behind, but Dong Zhuo originally wanted to wait for Dong Shouye's class to return to the dynasty, and after promulgating the news and celebrating it, he didn't think that Dong Zhuo would die before Dong Shouye returned to Chang'an. So the people in Chang'an City still think that Dong Shouye is fighting hard against Han Sui and Ma Teng?

Huangfu Song's plan was to capture Dong Min's defensive Yiwu, obtain the grain, grass, armor, gold, silver and money in it, and then send troops to fight Dong Shouye after expanding his strength. Dong Shouye has become famous in recent years, and he has the demeanor of a father, and Huangfu Song does not dare to underestimate it.

Huangfu Song thought that even if Dong Shouye's ability was monstrous, as long as he could successfully occupy Yiwu, when the time came, Dong Shouye would be homeless and would not be able to last long. When the time comes, he can only flee to Xiliang after attacking his subordinates for a long time, and then fight to the death with Han Sui and Ma Teng in Xiliang, and then Huangfu Song will send troops to Xiliang to make a profit.

Moreover, there is another consideration for Huangfu Song to send troops to Yiwu, that is, Guo Yan led 5,000 men and horses to fight with the pursuing Lu Bu, and Huangfu Song marched lightly and arrived at Yiwu in front of him, which could cut off Guo Yan's return route and attack Lu Lai back and forth, and it was not a problem to completely annihilate Guo Yan.

After Huangfu Song arrived outside the Wuwu Fort, he immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The old man is Huangfu Song, please ask General Zuo Dong Min to come out and answer!" ”

There is a way: the shadow of the tree, the light of the man. As a generation of famous generals, Huangfu Song has a huge reputation, and it can be said that everyone knows it.

Even in the Xiliang Army, Huangfu Song still has a huge influence, even greater than Dong Min's influence, you must know that Dong Zhuo once incorporated 30,000 horses and horses of Huangfu Song in Huaili, and now there are many of Huangfu Song's subordinates who have been Huangfu Song.

When these people saw the former commander, the god-like Huangfu Song, they didn't even have the courage to fight.

For a time, the morale of the Xiliang army was greatly affected, of course, this reason is also very likely to be the reason why Huangfu Song was able to capture Yiwu in history.

Huangfu Song thought well, there are indeed only 30,000 people in the current Yiwu.

When Dong Min heard the news reported by his subordinates, he walked up to the city and looked at the confident Huangfu Song under the city.

When Huangfu Song saw Dong Min appearing, he said loudly: "General Zuo, today the old man is ordered to come and take over the helm of Yiwu. ”

Dong Min was furious when he heard this: "Huangfu Song, what do you say about my brother's death? ”

Huangfu Song was stunned when he heard this, to be honest, he did not approve of killing Dong Zhuo, but he was a pure soldier, he would only accept orders and carry out orders, and he could not do anything about some political matters, so he said: "Dong Zhuo's death was because he bullied the Son of Heaven and controlled the government, so Wang Situ designed to kill him, and this matter is not something that the old man can control." ”

Dong Min was even more angry when he heard this, so he said: "As the saying goes, the deceased is gone, and the coffin is closed, I don't know how the imperial court is going to deal with the matter after my brother's death?" ”

Huangfu Song let out a long sigh and said, "The imperial court has issued an order to kill Dong Zhuo and his three clans. ”

Dong Min was even more angry, and said: "In this way, if Ben Jiang opened the gate of the dock fort and let you enter, it would be difficult to escape death?" ”

Huangfu Song arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an and said: "The old man can promise General Zuo in this matter, and he will do his best to mediate for General Zuo and try to save General Zuo's life!" ”

Dong Min finally couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded: "Huangfu Lao'er, let your mother's stinky shit, you will be a fool, if you will be killed, won't you become a fish on the board, let you wait to slaughter!" ”

Huangfu Song heard this, but he didn't speak, obviously acquiescing to the matter.

This Huangfu Song is a righteous gentleman, although he does not deviate from Dong Zhuo's actions on weekdays, but he does not have any dissatisfaction with Dong Min, because Dong Min does not do anything excessive on weekdays. Seeing that the imperial court must kill Dong Min, although he had the intention to mediate, he was helpless, after all, it was Wang Yun who was now in power in Chang'an City, not Huangfu Song.

Dong Min remembered Dong Shouye's entrustment, and said: "Ben Jiang's personal life and death are small, so let's not talk about this matter for the time being. There is still something I want to ask you about Huangfu Song. ”

Hearing this, Huangfu Song replied: "General Zuo, please speak, the old man knows everything!" ”

Dong Min said: "I heard that the imperial court has ordered the world to kill all the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, I don't know if this matter is serious." ”

Huang Fu Song's heart tightened when he heard this, why did this news come here so quickly, you must know that this is just Wang Yunyi's strong advocacy, not long after the general order, there were people who spoke out against it, Huang Fu Song was also one of them, but the government was dominated by Wang Yun, and Huang Fu Song's suggestion was not adopted, so it was true that the people of Liangzhou were killed.

I only heard Huangfu Song say: "This news is so good, it's just a message from the market, don't take it seriously!" ”

Dong Min was furious and said: "Huangfu Song, do you dare to swear by the ancestors of your Huangfu family for generations, this matter will never exist, if you dare, you will be arrested immediately, if you don't dare, you will fight against you to the end." ”

Take the ancestor swear, this is too solemn, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and valued the ancestors the most.

The Huangfu family has been a general for generations, and Huangfu Song must not blaspheme the ancestors, so it is absolutely impossible to agree to Dong Min's request, so he can only choose to remain silent.

Dong Min quietly looked at the silent Huangfu Song, and shouted: "Sure enough, soldiers, the imperial court wants to kill us and other Liangzhou people, this matter is a true fact, who is this Huangfu Song, everyone must have heard of it, since he didn't dare to swear, he acquiesced in this matter." If we put down our swords, we will die. In that case, why not rise up and fight your way out. ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they all struck their weapons and echoed loudly.
