Chapter 175: The Wind Rises
Four days were spent in everyone's busyness, except for the collapsed city walls and houses, and now Xiaquyang has been cleaned up.
Huangfu Song's convoy came to the south city gate, looking at the clean ground and city walls, they could hardly imagine the scene here four days ago.
Huangfu Song lay on his side on the carriage, watching Zhao Yang lead the army out of the city slowly, and there was no noise in the whole army, which made him feel very unreal.
Don't forget, most of these Han troops who went out of the city were recruited by him from Guanzhong, and what kind of virtue they were naturally couldn't be clearer.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yang replaced him and managed it for a few days, with such an obvious effect, his training talent really made him feel terrifying.
"Old general, I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay?"
Zhao Yang came to Huangfu Song and made a joke with him, and Huang Fu Song replied to him with a big white eye.
In these days after the war, Zhao Yang often visited him, and at the beginning, he was quite moved, thinking that the other party really respected him.
But in the next few days, when he visited, the eyes that looked at his ass at every turn really made him very angry.
"You kid will taunt the old man, but I don't have the same knowledge as you, now that we're ready, shouldn't we set off?"
Huangfu Song looked at Zhao Yang's smile, eager to go up and give him a few punches, he knew that if he continued to entangle, he would definitely suffer the loss, so he changed his strategy.
Zhao Yang nodded, Huangfu Song did not hesitate, and directly ordered the army to be pulled, after all, he was the commander of this battle, and Zhao Yang could not overstep his responsibilities now.
Tens of thousands of troops marched south, and the whole team stretched for more than ten miles, and the pennants were flying brightly.
Looking at the devastated land of Jizhou, Huangfu Song's heart was very heavy, and what he was bearing here was Luoyang's food source.
Now dozens of miles away, I can't see a single populace, and I really don't know when it will be restored to its original appearance.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Yang beside him, this kid is in the party, turning decay into magic, and when the time comes, he can suggest that His Majesty send him to serve as the assassin of Jizhou.
Zhao Yang didn't know at the moment that Huangpu Song was thinking about pulling hatred for himself, and at this moment he was discussing with Wang Meng how much benefit he could exchange for this time.
Wang Meng reminded him that he could give Huang Fu Song a small part of the benefits when necessary, after all, the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, they killed one and lived the other.
Zhang Jiao's body is still under Zhao Yang's control, such a big credit, I don't know how many people are red.
Zhao Yang didn't speak after listening, this trip to Luoyang, he originally wanted to be a little more high-profile.
After all, Yuan Kui is in the capital, and it can be said that he is full of friends, and if he is too low-key, he will be troubled by them everywhere.
Don't dare Wang Meng's reminder, it came in time, Zhao Yang thought about it carefully, and found that his thoughts were a little too simple, he didn't answer Wang Meng immediately, he decided to think about it.
The speed of the army's march is not fast, and it is very comfortable to stop and go along the way, but Luoyang at this moment is in a turbulent situation.
Yuan Kui's mansion was crowded at the moment, Yuan Kui was sitting at the top, Yuan Shu was standing in the hall, saying something sharply, and the officials around him were also talking.
Since receiving that Xia Quyang was broken and Zhang Liang fell into the hands of Zhao Yang, Yuan Kui gathered everyone to come to his house to drink tea.
Those officials were very confused at first, why they invited them to tea, and just after listening to Yuan Shu's narration, they understood what Yuan Kui meant.
In fact, the contradictions between the Yuan and Zhao families were caused by Yuan Shao, and now Yuan Shao has been arranged to He Jinfu and has become his confidant.
Yuan Kui thinks that he has a backer and can repay the hatred before, don't look at him in a high position, but he is a very narrow-minded person.
"Everyone, you all know the contradiction between my Yuan family and his party, and I don't embarrass everyone, today I hope you can think of a good idea for me, and the old man will be grateful."
Yuan Kui waited until Yuan Shu finished speaking, and then he opened his mouth to ask everyone, although he said very politely, but on his face, there was no look of a lost request.
These officials all understand that if they fail to satisfy him, they are afraid that the day of revenge on them will not be far off.
Now everyone regrets it, if they had known that he was talking about this, they would not have been able to accuse themselves, but now it is better, and it is a little difficult for them to ride a tiger.
"Taifu, the lower officials think that although Zhao Yang has contributed the most, he is not the commander of this battle after all, we can buy some generals around Huangfu Song and let them formulate a false testimony for us, as long as it is proved that Zhang Liang is not real."
"What Lord Qian said is extremely true, and the lower officials think this method is feasible."
"Xia Guan also thinks that it is okay, and he can also create some rumors, so he said that Zhao Yang killed good people in Xia Quyang in order to receive a reward."
Everyone, you say a word, and the words you say are extremely vicious, but they are still a step late after all, and for these methods, Zhao Yang has actually taken precautions.
On the day of the end of the battle, he sent his subordinates to Zhang Rang's mansion with his gift list for Zhang Rang, as well as the battle report here.
For the Yuan family in Luoyang, he had long expected that the other party would definitely make things difficult, but he had seen those methods in his later life, and he didn't know how many times, and the method of dealing with them had already been remembered in his heart.
Yuan Kui was still discussing in the house, but he never thought that at this moment, Zhang Rang was already telling Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, about the whole process of the matter, and finally did not forget to remind Liu Hong of some things.
For Zhao Yang's contribution this time, I don't know how many people in the court are worried about it, Zhang Rang told Emperor Han Ling, I'm afraid that Zhao Yang can't come to Luoyang, and rumors have spread throughout Luoyang.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was originally happy, but he also calmed down with Zhang Rang's words, and he didn't know about the contradictions between the Yuan and Zhao families.
This is also the reason why he promoted Zhao Yang to the general of the expedition to the north in the first place.
He knew how powerful the Yuan family was, but there was nothing he could do, and he had to raise a new force to contend with them.
This time Zhao Yang has made such a great contribution, if it is said that the Yuan family does not come out and creates some chaos, it is better to believe that the sun will rise from the west.
"Father, when Zhao Yang's army comes to Mengjin Pass, you send someone to secretly summon Zhao Yang to meet me."
Liu Hong would never let the Yuan family wantonly destroy them with the power he had worked so hard to cultivate, and this time he wanted to surprise those who were red-eyed.
He suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Zongzheng Liu Yan proposed to him the matter of setting up a state pastor, through this Yellow Turban Riot, as well as the actions of the Yuan family, he just thought it was worth considering.
Now that the riots were pacified, and all the leading figures of the riots were arrested, Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, felt that the time was ripe, and he decided to adopt Liu Yan's suggestion.
At this moment, in his heart, there are also a few candidates, as long as they hold these places, then their Liu family will be as stable as ever.
