Chapter 53: The Defeat of the Yellow Turban (4) [Seeking Harvest and Red]
Jia Rong did not pull down his own kung fu, and he trained hard every day, and he made great progress in riding, military boxing, and foot combat, especially in the immediate battle, in short, today's Jia Rong is no longer comparable to the past, and he can also fight well with Huaxiong on the war horse.
As before, Jia Rong found that his strength was getting bigger and bigger, is this his biggest advantage as a traverser, Jia Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly, a little advantage is always haode, as the saying goes, one force will drop ten.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty in Luoyang received a gift from Huangfu Song's fast horse, and then saw the heads of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, and immediately smiled, relieved of the worries of several months; Since that Zhang Jiao led the people to revolt, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, like a bamboo, it seems that he is about to attack the Beijing Division, the Han Emperor Liu Hong is not able to eat well and no one can sleep well, although the Han Emperor is very greedy for money, but he also understands the truth that the country has lost nothing, and he does not want the Han family to be defeated into his own hands, so the Han Emperor has changed his previous style in the past few months, and actively listened to the suggestions of hundreds of officials every morning, as if he had become a Ming Jun.
After receiving Huangfu Song's report, Emperor Han almost jumped up with joy, but he still tried his best to stop himself and was going to court; Emperor Han immediately issued an order: Huangfu Song had meritorious service in the battle, and was named the marquis of the capital, and all the soldiers of all departments were promoted to the next level. At the same time, at the same time, the emperor was rewarded with a thousand gold, a thousand horses of cloth, a car of fine wine, which was sent to Guangzong on the same day, and the Han Emperor was happy and kind, although the war was tense, but the Han Emperor's Wanjin Hall had money.
The happy Emperor Han was also rare and generous, and sent a decree to set up a banquet in the palace at night and invite hundreds of officials to the banquet; At the same time, he ordered the heads of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang to be hung on the city gate, so that the people of the world could see the prestige of the Han Court.
The hundred officials were also very happy to hear the news, not only to kill Zhang Liang and Zhang Jiao, but also to be happy that the Han Emperor could set up a banquet, the Han Emperor had not held a banquet for some years, and the hundred officials were basically scraped by the Han Emperor, and they all thought about how to have a good meal at night.
When the holy decree reached Guangzong, the morale of the Han army became even higher, and the soldiers fought not only to protect their families and defend the country, but also to be promoted.
Huangfu Song was very generous, and distributed the gold that the Han Emperor rewarded him with to his generals, and all the cloth was rewarded to the generals, and the wine was drunk by the three armies, and the gold could be exchanged for five baht.
Huangfu Song did not forget his promise, rewarded the Yellow Turban soldiers who had helped him before, and sent them back to their hometown after some advice.
After that, Huangfu Song settled the people in the city, and left a group of soldiers to guard the newly recovered Guangzong, so as to prevent the resurgence of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and the Guangzong Taishou appointed by the imperial court was rushing here.
Then Huangfu Song reorganized the soldiers and left Guangzong City.
Huangfu Song led the soldiers all the way to Julu County, Julu, which was the location of Zhang Jiao's uprising, that is, Zhang Jiao's base camp, so it was also the most tenacious stronghold.
Today's Yellow Turban Army is losing and retreating, even the strongest giant deer in the Yellow Turban Shili is no exception, the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Bao has been defeated repeatedly, and has no choice but to retreat to Quyang County.
At this time, when the morale of the Han army was high, the death of the Yellow Turban thief Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang successively made the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers in Quyang County not very high.
In any case, Julu is also the base camp of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao is also quite talented, the imperial army is quite good, and the soldiers are also treated very well, so although the city of Quyang County is small, there has been no incident of desertion, and the Han army outside the city is also on par, and the attack and defense are also impressive.
Besieged Quyang County for more than a month, the Han army launched more than a dozen attacks, but Quyang County has never been able to capture, Zhang Bao's resistance is quite stubborn, every time Zhang Bao takes the lead, Huangfu Song is very glad that the defender of Guangzong is fortunate not to be Zhang Bao, otherwise it is difficult to break through the siege for a year.
Han Ting also wanted to end the war quickly, and kept urging Huangfu Song to take Quyang County as soon as possible.
Huangfu Song racked his brains to find a way, but he never came up with a foolproof solution; Helpless, the only way to gather the generals is to gather them.
However, the generals who received the order came to the big tent of the Chinese army where Huangfu Song was.
Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Huangfu Song got up from the seat and said: "The saint has repeatedly urged to break through Quyang County as soon as possible, and in recent days, the generals have also seen that the resistance of the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang County is very fierce, and our army has been fighting repeatedly. ”
As soon as the words fell, the generals began to discuss one after another.
At this time, Sun Jian walked out from among the generals and said to Huangfu Song: "Sun Jian is not talented, he is willing to personally lead the crowd to attack the city tomorrow, not to break the city, and is willing to bring people to see him." ”
Huang Fu Song nodded with satisfaction, since the battle with the Yellow Turban, Huang Fu Song admired Sun Jian's bravery very much, and he took the lead in every battle.
However, bravery alone can not solve the problem, nor can it hit the enthusiasm of his generals, Huangfu Song said: "The courage of Wentai is very commendable, and tomorrow will attack the city, and Wentai will be the vanguard." ”
Sun Jian returned to his seat satisfied.
Seeing Huangfu Song praising Sun Jian so much, Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei was unwilling, Liu Bei held down Zhang Fei, who was about to attack, got up and saluted Huangfu Song and said: "General, the number of our army is more than the Yellow Turbans in the city, and the morale is higher than the Yellow Turbans. ”
Huangfu Song hurriedly said: "Xuande speak quickly." ”
Liu Bei's eyes flashed with confidence, and he said slowly: "Our army can take turns to attack the Yellow Turbans in the city, so that the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to rest, so that the soldiers will be tired, and in this way, the day of breaking the city can be waiting." ”
After listening to Liu Bei's strategy, Huangfu Song thought for a long time and said: "Just take Xuande's plan!" "Often the most primitive way is probably the most haode.
Seeing that Huangfu Song adopted his own strategy, Liu Bei was also very pleased, and Zhang Fei looked at Sun Jian as if demonstrating.
Huangfu Song divided the Han army into four divisions and took turns to attack Quyang County.
Ten days later, the Yellow Turbans in the city fell asleep as soon as their heads touched the walls; In the past ten days, the Yellow Turban Army has suffered a great crime, eating poorly, sleeping poorly, and being eating but being called by the commander to defend the city.
Under the fierce attack of the Han army, Quyang County was breached, and Zhang Bao led his troops to resist to the death and was killed by the Han army in the chaos.
With the defeat of Quyang by the Han army and the defeat of Zhang Bao, it means that the Yellow Turban, which lasted for more than nine months of the uprising, has completely failed, and the Han dynasty has been preserved.
After counting the losses and captures of the Han army, Huangfu Song immediately reported to the Han court.
When the news reached Luoyang, the Han Emperor was overjoyed, calling the heavens to bless the Han, comforting the temple, and ordering hundreds of civil and military officials to celebrate for three days; At the same time, Emperor Fu Song was named Jizhou Mu, Huaili Hou, 10,000 gold, 10,000 households, and the rest of the generals were rewarded.
The rest of the small local Yellow Turban Army will have their own state pastors to clean up.
The most unlucky is Dong Zhuo, there is no benefit, he has been busy for so long in vain, although in this broken day in Hedong, Dong Zhuo was very active, helping the Han court to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban nearby, but the Han Emperor still did not give any reward to the Xiliang army, just sent Dong Zhuo away after a hard work, Dong Zhuo was driven back to Xiliang by the gray, and continued to be his overlord.
Looking at Dong Zhuo, who was constantly angry, Li Ru stepped forward and persuaded: "The lord doesn't need to be angry, this time our Xiliang army has fought without success, and it is a great luck that the Han Emperor did not punish him, and the lord is still a Zhonglang general canonized by the imperial court, and it is not without gain, in the opinion of Confucianism, the world is bound to be in chaos!" ”
Dong Zhuo couldn't help asking, "Big chaos?" What does this mean? ”
Li Ru said slowly: "The lord has been busy fighting with the Yellow Turban thieves, and he doesn't know anything about the edicts of the imperial court; Emperor Han had already decreed that the shepherd of a state had full control over the military and political power of a state, that is, the shepherd of the state had the right to deal with the army of a state. ”
Dong Zhuo's eyes were confused, and he said, "What about it?" ”
"The lord can take this opportunity to return to Liangzhou to recruit troops, if it is not as expected by Confucianism, the world will be in chaos, this move of the Han Emperor will make the Han court fall into a situation where the ministers are strong and the monarch is weak, and then there will be a forest of princes" Li Ru whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear.
"When the time comes, the world will be in chaos, the lord will be able to show his strength, my Xiliang army will be all elite, and then the lord will raise the elite division, clear the king's side, punish the treacherous and rebellious, and achieve immortal fame." Li Ru said with excitement in his eyes, as if that day had come.
After listening to Li Ru's analysis, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to return to Xiliang after they were ready.
Liu Bei was also named the county lieutenant of Anxi because of his meritorious service, which is not quite the same as Liu Bei's fame, thinking that Liu Bei led his troops to resist the Yellow Turban, and the Yellow Turban who killed all the way lost his armor and abandoned his armor, and there were not a few enemy generals who were killed, but he was only named a county lieutenant; There are people in the court who are good officials, although they are said to be the king of Zhongshan Jing, but they are a wandering branch and have lost their titles.
Liu Bei's mentor Lu Zhi served in the Han Court, but Lu Zhi had just been pardoned, and he had no right to speak, nor did he take care of his disciple.
Because of his meritorious service in following Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, Sun Jian was promoted from Zuojun Sima to Sima of other departments, and followed Huangfu Song's side to do things.
The rest of the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in the battle were rewarded, and Jia Rong also faded out of the sight of the Han court by the great honor of burning the Changshe, and did not receive any reward.
The Han dynasty was able to survive, which was the happiest of those scholars, the period of the war did not affect their earnings, they hoarded grain, raised the price of grain, sold horses, etc., in short, after the war they made a lot of money.
The most bitter is still in the bottom of the people, the country is constantly fighting, the war needs food to support, the need for the army to fight, the Han Emperor raised taxes, forced soldiers, many people because of excessive taxes and drought and displacement, the people have to eat only Yizi, go away, the road has the situation of starvation bones everywhere.
