Just when Dong Zhuo confused Yuan Shao and the others by taking 3,000 people into the city during the day and secretly leaving at night, Huangfu Song, who was far away in the northwest, also seemed to be planning something at this time.

"Liangping, I didn't expect to see you again. Why, are you here to laugh at me for being incompetent? ”

Huangfu Song quietly looked at the energetic old man in front of him, although he said words that seemed to be decadent or mocking, but Yan Zhong, who was sitting opposite him, could clearly feel that Huangfu Song's mood at this time was ...... It turned out to be good.

"If you don't know what kind of temper and loyalty the marshal is, then you really can't say it, I'm afraid that even if you turn back time, you will still make the same choice. Since the marshal doesn't regret it, why should he make such a gesture in front of Zhong? ”

"Haha, it looks like you're doing well with that little guy, and you're already joking about it. But speaking of which, you should really be glad that Han Sui and Bian Zhang were looking for Xiliang celebrities everywhere and wanted to promote him as the leader. ”

"If you can, Zhong thinks that Da Shuai is very suitable for that position, as long as Da Shuai is interested, I think Han Wenyue, Bian Wenxin and that Ma Shoucheng will definitely meet each other. Maybe, he can become a generation of founding monarchs? ”

"Okay, you Yan Liangping, did you pre-set me in an unrighteous place, you really infuriate me."

Of course, Huangfu Song was actually not angry at all, because he understood that it was Yan Zhong who was joking with him. However, he also understood that Yan Zhong was able to say such things unscrupulously, which showed that he was indeed full of disappointment in the imperial court in Luoyang.

"Speaking of which, Duke Lu invited the marshal here, and the marshal will be invited here, I don't know what the two of you want to do?"

Yes, this is neither the front line of the battle against the Han and Qiang rebels led by Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others that Huangfu Song should be in, nor is it the Chang'an command center located in the rear, but a river crossing located in Dingyang County, Shangjun.

Whether it was Huangfu Song or Yan Zhong, they were all lightly dressed and made some kind of cover at this time, which seemed to make this meeting more mysterious, but it seemed that except for Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, everyone else did not understand the meaning of this meeting.

It's just that although they are thousands of miles away, both Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song have actually been paying attention to what happened in Luoyang City, and they both have enough networks to get first-hand information. Although they didn't have the one that had just happened in Luoyang City, and they didn't know that He Jin had ruined a good situation because of his carelessness, the two people with keen intuition were worried about the future of Dahan.

Although a gentleman can be bullied, it does not mean that a gentleman will sit idly by and watch the empire to which he is loyal gradually fall into the danger they can anticipate, especially if they still have a lot of bargaining chips in their hands.

So, there was such a meeting - even though it was still very far from Luoyang.

"I'm sorry, because I got some news when I was on the road just now, so I delayed some time, and I ask you to forgive me."

Lu Zhi was the last of the three to come here, but it seemed that not only was his face full of dust, but his brows were even more sad, and it was obvious that the news he had just received was not something to cheer about.

"What, is there something wrong with Luoyang?"

If there is an abnormality in Biansai, I am afraid that Lu Zhi will not have the current expression, or he will directly send someone to tell the two of them to go back to Xihe to preside over the overall situation first. And now that Lu Zhi can still appear here, it must be from Luoyang.

It's just that, looking at Lu Zhi's appearance, I'm afraid that Luoyang's situation will not be too small. Huangfu Song's heart suddenly tightened.

"The general entered the palace alone and was killed by the sword and axe men who were ambushed by the ten permanent servants, and his brother was also killed by his subordinates. There was a great chaos inside and outside Luoyang, the ten permanent servants and their families and vassals were killed, the palace, the official office, the shops, and the private houses were burned, killed and looted by different Cheng dù, and a large number of rebels fled from Luoyang and scattered among the people. Fortunately, although His Majesty and the Queen Mother were held hostage by the Ten Standing Attendants, they were safe and sound in the end, which can be said to be a blessing in misfortune. It's just that it is reported that Dong Zhuo led tens of thousands of troops into Beijing, and now he has completely controlled the form of Luoyang. However, the old man was a little skeptical about the last news, because I also received a message that Duan Xuan and Yang Ding seemed to lead the troops to pass through Guò Hangu Pass, but they were blocked by the soldiers on the pass, so where did Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of elite soldiers come from? ”

Lu Zhi's words made Huangfu Song and Yan Zhong, who were still in the mood to tease each other, shocked and nervous+ shocked, they couldn't imagine why He Jin was obviously holding a huge victory in his hands, but it became the result now, not only did he die miserably, but also buried the advantages that the scholars had accumulated after years of hard work.

Moreover, what made the situation even worse was that Dong Zhuo somehow gained huge support and mastered the situation in Luoyang. Such a result is no better than He Jin's death.

If those families in the Central Plains despised Dong Zhuo's strength and destructive power because they were not familiar with Xiliang enough, then Huangfu Song and Yan Zhong, who were both born in Xiliang, and Lu Zhi, who studied under Ma Rong and knew a lot about Xiliang, would definitely not think so.

Xiliang is a very peculiar place.

Liangzhou can be said to be one of the most economically backward states among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and because of the continuous Qiang rebellion, in order to quell these rebellions, the treasury is often wiped out. Not to mention it from afar, just saying that Emperor Han Huan left Liu Hong a mess because of a large number of wars against Qiang, and if there was no butcher Duan Cheng, maybe the situation would be even worse.

In fact, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and Yangzhou are also often harassed by foreign races, especially Jiuzhen County and Rinan County in Jiaozhou. So why did the Han turn a blind eye to those places and attach so much importance to the Qiang people in the northwest?

The answer is topography!

The terrain of Chinese mainland is high in the west and low in the east, descending in a stepped manner. On the one hand, this topography has made it inevitable that there will be drought and little rain in western China, which is bordered by the sea in the east, and at the same time, it also determines that when there is a rebellion in the west, the troops in the west, especially in the northwest, can sweep to the southeast with a commanding position. This is the geographical advantage that Liangzhou has.

Thereupon; Liangzhou has become a place that makes the big man feel chicken ribs - you say give up, let people fight from high to low, just like the ground forces that have lost air supremacy in modern warfare, even if it is defense, it will feel difficult. If you still don't feel like it, please refer to the wars of the Song Dynasty against the Liao State, which lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

But you say keep it, Liangzhou is poor, really poor. Although there is a Silk Road, if there is no Qiang chaos, maybe Liangzhou will be a different scene, but because the Qiang people come to find trouble every now and then, the Han has to often station a large number of troops in Xiliang. Obviously, these troops need to consume a large amount of food, but what is most lacking in the northwest is precisely food, so they can only transfer grain from Sanfu and even the Central Plains, and the amount of money and grain that needs to be consumed alone is an astonishing figure.

Therefore, the people of Xiliang can feel the swaying and wandering of the imperial court's policy towards Liangzhou all the time.

It should be noted that the Xiliang people here do not only refer to the native Liangzhou people, but also include many families living in Sanfu now, because these families are inextricably linked to the land of Liangzhou. In this connection, the most typical is the Fufeng Pingling Dou family, the largest family of relatives in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Anding Liang family, where the once powerful Liang Ji is located.

The reason why the Dou family was able to become the most dazzling family of relatives in the early Han Dynasty and continued until the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was that his ancestor Dou Rong handed over the five counties of Hexi to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and led the army to help Liu Xiu solve his most troublesome northwest warlord Kui. And one of Dou Rong's most relied on staff is the ancestor of the Liang family.

By the way, Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo who served under Kui Huan and said "In today's world, not only the monarch chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king", also came from Fufeng, but he was just a Maoling person, so the Ma family also had considerable influence in the northwest.

It is precisely because of this history that the Xiliang people think that they have a great contribution to the Han Dynasty, but they are increasingly excluded by the Central Plains family in the distribution of power, so the Xiliang people, especially the ordinary Xiliang people, have great complaints about the imperial court.

In addition to the many people in the poor mountains and bad waters, there are also many elite soldiers, coupled with the continuous wars in Liangzhou, which makes even the combat effectiveness of ordinary people often much stronger than those county soldiers in the Central Plains.

Therefore, the Xiliang people are not simple martial artists, but a group of avengers who want to re-establish the prestige of the Xiliang people.

If the leader of the Avengers is a sheep or a loyal Tibetan mastiff, then there is no problem, but it is a cruel and cunning wolf who is now in command of the Avengers, a wolf with great ambitions.

"I said Liangping, you said that Dong Zhuo can have so many soldiers and horses, it won't be the ghost behind your family's state pastor."

Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little shocked by this shocking news for a while, Huang Fu Song had to make a joke, hoping to divert everyone's attention a little, even though he knew that this was just a self-deceptive idea.

"How is that possible? Shushi The little guy brought out less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in total, and maybe he had already embarked on the way back to the state, how could he still have the ability to support Dong Zhuo so many soldiers and horses. If he had this thought, it would be better to directly kick Dong Zhuo away and sit in that seat. Maybe we're feeling better now. ”

"Although we were somewhat caught off guard by something like this, we didn't think about such a situation, and it's hard to have a worse situation again, so some of the preparations we made before should be used."

"Indeed, the seeds that were planted that day may be a little more hopeful today."

Regarding Lu Zhi's remarks, Huangfu Song and Yan Zhong both smiled slightly. Although gentlemen are often at a disadvantage in confrontation with others because they are bound by morality and law, it would be a mistake to think that a gentleman is a passive character.
