The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 4 Chapter 139: Jizhou is the place to make meritorious achievements (5)

Liu Bei thought to himself, "Xun Zhennian is similar to me. The reason why I can be a Qianshi official is just the shadow of Lai Xun's clan. Although I am not as good as him today, I will definitely surpass him in the future!" When he came out of the tent, the two looked at each other, and he covered his wild vision with a humble smile on his face. www.мdyzww.м Netмmм

Xun Zhen smiled back, nodded at him, waited for Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo to say goodbye in front of the handsome tent, followed behind Huangfu Song, paused for a while when passing Liu Bei, and said with a smile, "Brother Xuande, I am today. In the evening, we hang out in the tent and wait for each other." Liu Bei said hurriedly, "Yes."

Huangfu Song, who was walking in front, heard these words, and glanced back. After walking out of Dong Zhuo's army, he summoned Xun Zhen and asked, "Zhenzhi, are you old acquaintances with that man with big ears? ?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "I didn't know him before, but today is the first time I met him."

Huangfu Song said curiously: "First time? Just on the way to Dong Zhonglang Zhongjun, I saw the two of you laughing and chatting along the road, as if they were very familiar, and I heard you invite him to your camp at night, but it turned out to be First time?"

"What the general does not know, this person's surname is Liu Mingbei, he is the disciple of Duke Lu after King Jing of Zhongshan, and he is also from Zhuo County. A few months ago, he heard that Duke Lu had ordered the thieves, and because he had gathered a crowd to help out, he was called in. Commander Zou Xiaowei. I was just on the bank of the Qinghe River. I saw him with a strange appearance, so I started to chat with him, but I didn't agree with him in a few words. It was quite speculative, so I invited him to come to our camp in the evening to talk by candlelight."

"I see!"

Although I know that the "ape-armed big-ear" person is the Han family, after King Jing of Zhongshan, the Han family has been in the world for nearly four hundred years, and the Liu family has spread branches and leaves, and there are countless clans. This "King Jing of Zhongshan" "Moreover, he was a prince in the former Han Dynasty. It has been a long time since this year, and there are no big people in his descendants. Judging from Liu Bei's age and dressing, he is still in his twenties, but he is still white. His family background was probably not as good as that of an ordinary gentry, so Huangfu Song didn't take it seriously and didn't take him to heart.

At this point, they had left Dong Zhuo's army and could ride horses. A personal soldier came over with a horse, Huangfu Song stepped on the pedal and sat on the saddle, but he was not in a hurry to go, but turned his head to look back, not to see Dong Zhuo's camp, but to look at Guangzong from afar.

Guangzong is adjacent to the Qinghe River in the east, and the other three sides are wilderness. Looking from a distance, the city walls are towering, and the guards are like ants. In addition to the guards on the city, there were also strongholds of the Yellow Turbans outside the city, which formed a chasm with the city.

In the past, when Lu Zhi was in command of the army, because there were many Yellow Turban soldiers in the city, and they fought bravely, and the city was tall and thick, it was difficult to conquer quickly, so Dafa hand built encircling and chiseling moats, and built a continuous earth mountain outside the fortress of the Yellow Turban Army. , dug a deep trench to besiege it. This is a traditional siege method. It seems clumsy, but it is a big killer. Once this method is used, no matter how strong the city is, there will be a day when it will be conquered. It's just that Lu Zhi was sent to the capital shortly after the fortifications such as earth hills and ravines were built and hewn.

Beyond the hills and trenches, there are layers of Han army camps.

It was long past noon and far from evening, and the sun was hot. Under the dazzling sunshine, countless flags fluttered in these Han army camps, drums and horns were heard, and horses neighed in the distance, creating an atmosphere of gold and iron.

When Huangfu Song was looking at him a lot, he threw his horse and left.

He brought tens of thousands of cavalry, and they had to have a place to be stationed. Dong Zhuo had already found a place for them in advance. Under the leadership of a general, the group went to build the camp, but it was on the west and south sides of Guangzong City. After the Han army camp.

While walking, Huangfu Song asked the generals Xun Zhen and Fu Xie, and said, "The thieves of Jizhou were led by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang personally, and I heard Dong Zhonglang in the tent just now that they were very elite and dared to fight, and the city was also in charge. Strong, hard to get. Gentlemen, what's the best way?"

Compared with the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, Runan, Dongjun and other places, the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou were the direct line of Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao has been operating in Jizhou for many years, and he has many dead and capable men under his command. He is also the leader of Taiping Road, and his prestige is unparalleled. Lu Zhi, a famous person in the world, and Dong Zhuo, a warrior of Xiliang, attacked them successively with tens of thousands of people, and lost more and won less. This shows the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou Yellow Turbans.

Fu Xie, Xun Zhen and the others were all new arrivals, and they were sparsely populated. They were neither familiar with geography nor had they personally seen the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou Yellow Turbans. Rao was brave or wise, but for a while they had no idea what to do.

Fu Xie said: "When our army first arrived, we joined forces with Dong Zhonglang and Zongxiaowei. In my humble opinion, the officials below do not seem to be in a hurry to attack the city. They can let the troops rest for a day or two. The city is empty and real, feel the situation, and then discuss how to break the thief before it is too late."

The "Zong Sergeant" that Fu Xie was talking about was the general who was leading the way and took them to the place where the camp was built. Dong Zhuo's deputy, since Huangfu Song has arrived, he will naturally become Huangfu Song's deputy again. Huangfu Song asked Xun Zhen again and said, "Zhenzhi, what do you think?"

Xun Zhen replied: "What Fu Sima said is very true. I just arrived, although I heard Dong Zhonglang talk about the situation in the city, but Dong Zhonglang has just arrived, and he has only fought with the bandits for a while. I don’t understand it very well. Second, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and listening to words is not the basis for attacking and fighting with troops, and thirdly…”

"How about three?"

Xun Zhen glanced at the leader who was leading the way, lowered her voice, and said, "Three times, Duke Lu's troops are mostly soldiers from all over the world, and Dong Zhonglang's troops are mostly Qin Hu of Liangzhou. I don't know much. I don't know him, and I'm not a confidant. Therefore, Zhen thought that what Fu Sima said was very true. I should wait a little longer, and then make plans for the general after he personally finds out the reality of the thieves and soldiers. Okay."

The Yellow Turbans were in chaos. In order to quell the chaos, the imperial court made every effort to recruit 50,000 or 60,000 troops.

These 50,000 or 60,000 people came from different sources. Some were troops guarding Luoyang, such as the Fifth School of the Northern Army, some were recruited from around Luoyang, and some were state soldiers. According to the different sources, it is divided into two routes. The route led by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun mainly consists of recruited Sanhe Knights and Jingyong from Gyeonggi, totaling more than 40,000 people, while the route led by Lu Zhi is mainly led by the northern counties and states. The army consisted of twenty or thirty thousand men. ——Of course, now there is another source, that is, the Liangzhou Qiang Cavalry brought by Dong Zhuo.

The Art of War says: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles."

Speaking of which, Huangfu Song now has 50,000 to 60,000 people under his command, but apart from his headquarters, he is not familiar with Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo's old departments, neither "confidantes", nor have he played against Zhang Jiao, nor " Knowing the enemy" is indeed not suitable for impatience.

In fact, in addition to these three reasons, there is another reason that Xun Zhen did not say, namely: changing generals one after another in front of the battle, the army's heart was unstable. From Lu Zhi's departure to the present, in just a few months, plus Huangfu Song, the commander-in-chief of the Han soldiers in Jizhou has been replaced three times in a row. First, Lu Weiwei was falsely accused and convicted, and he was sent to the capital. Then Dong Zhuo fought wildly, and he was defeated. The main front-line generals are convicted one after another, and the battles are not good. How can the military's heart be stable? Morale is definitely not high.

Thinking of this, Xun Zhen couldn't help thinking of Dong Zhuo's recent defeat, and said to himself, "Dong Zhuo has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he is a warrior of Western Liang. With his military exploits, he has been promoted step by step from a small Yulin Lang to today's two thousand stone. How can you not know that you need to be prudent in the face of the enemy, and the most avoidable advance? However, as soon as he was ordered to attack Guangzong on behalf of Lu Zhi, he urged the army to advance rapidly as soon as the seats in the camp were too warm. The enemy changes generals, and the army's morale is unstable, so he was eager to win a victory to stabilize the army's morale, but unexpectedly he was defeated."

Huangfu's family of generals, Huangfu Song studied the art of war intensively. He knew these principles very well. The reason why he asked Xun Zhen, Fu Xie and others was actually because he was afraid that the generals would be arrogant and underestimate the enemy because of their consecutive victories. Xie's words were very much in line with his mind, and he nodded immediately and said, "The words of the second minister are exactly what I want." He looked up at the sky, and then said again, "The summer is hot, so let all the soldiers rest more. Two days. After sending Dong Zhonglang away tomorrow, let's have a military meeting the day after tomorrow, and then discuss the matter of attacking the city and breaking the thieves."

The generals who followed his horse agreed in unison.

They came first to cross the river, and they didn't stay in Dong Zhuo's army for a long time. Taken by the sect members, everyone went to build the camp to have a look. Dong Zhuo made up his mind and chose a flat and dry camp for them, not far from the river, which was an excellent place to build a camp. Huangfu Song was very satisfied, smiled and said to the clan: "There is a school captain Lao to lead the way."

"Professor Huan Huan" is a frontier military position similar to "General Du Liao", "General of the Huns", "Chief Captain of Qiang", and "Captain of Liaodong vassal states". The shogunate and the shoguns belonged to the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes of the Han family. The shogunate was located in Shanggu County, Youzhou, and together with the Duliao General Department stationed in Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, they were collectively called the Second Battalion. Although the rank was only 2,000, but Because "holding the festival" represents the emperor in the dynasty, it is a high position in Youzhou, especially in the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes attached to it.

According to the military positions of the two Han Dynasties, the captain of the school was under the general of Zhonglang, and Huangfu Song was the chief general, and he was well-known. labor."

"I won't leave you here until the camp is completed. You go back to the camp first, and we will have a good talk with you tomorrow."

The clan members knew the characteristics of Huangfu Song’s army, and knew that whenever the army was stationed, he always waited for the soldiers to build their camps and set up their tents. I went to my own camp to rest, and I promised to leave.

After sending off the clan members, Huangfu Song divided the camps for each of the generals, and then brought the generals to the riverside to welcome the tribes across the river.

Tens of thousands of rides or bridges to cross, or drive horses to wade across shallow waters. Mixed in between foot and ride, there is a continuous stream of baggage vehicles. The orders came one after another, the voices of people and horses neighed, the collision of armor and weapons, the sound of wheels, and the sound of clamor spread to ten miles away.

Huangfu Song pulled his horse high, and watched the crowd cross the river.

Xun Zhen and Fu Xie all marched to the shore one after another. Some of their parts have already crossed the river, some are crossing the river, and some are still on the other side. There are too many people, and the river is too chaotic. Everyone can only find their subordinates through the flags raised high. Xun Zhen and Fu Xie won the trust of Huangfu Song. Soon, Xun Zhen saw the military flag of the headquarters from a distance. There were many people and cars on the shore, and the crowd was crowded everywhere. The horseback was not fast.

When Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou and other personal guards saw him coming back, they hurriedly led the crowd to greet him, dispersed the soldiers of other troops who were besieged in front, and joined him in the ministry. Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Xuan Kang, Li Bo and others came over one after another. Xuan Kang said, "Xun Jun, are you back?" He asked, "Why did you come back after a while? Didn't Dong Zhonglang arrange a banquet for General Huangfu to pick up the wind and wash away the dust? ?"

Xun Zhen said, "Don't you know how General Huangfu manages the army? How can the sergeant eat if he doesn't eat? Dong Zhonglang arranged a banquet, but the general refused." There were many soldiers from other troops crowded around the headquarters, and more soldiers from other troops were crossing the river continuously. He frowned and said, "What about Junqing and the others?"

Xuankang replied: "Everyone is bound by this song." It was hot in the sky, and people were crowded together. Now, once there is more, there will be chaos, the various ministries are mixed, and there have been several fights one after another..." Pointing to a high pole that was temporarily erected in the distance, he said, "It took three heads in a row to stop the chaos."

Xun Zhen followed and saw three **** human heads hanging from the pole.

The men and horses led by Huangfu Song were mainly composed of Sanhe Knights and Gyeonggi Zhuangyong, and most of them were recruited. Although Huangfu Song had strict military discipline, after all, these people lacked sufficient sense of discipline. Under the chaos, if you pushed me, fights would inevitably occur between different tribes.

"Are any of our people involved in the fight?"

Xun You said with a smile: "No. As soon as they landed on the shore, Gongda asked Junqing and everyone to strictly restrain this song. Without military orders, they should not act rashly."

Every unit has an ace, what is the ace? The trump card is the best to play. Under Huangfu Song's command, the Xunzhen clan was a trump card, and the other clans recognized their flags, and no one dared to provoke them, so as long as they didn't cause trouble, nothing would happen.

"General Huangfu has already set up a camp area for my troops~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and sent orders to go to the campsite..." Xun Zhen looked at the sky and said, "I will try to set it up before sunset. Curtains. Although the weather is hot, we can't let our subordinates spend the night in the open air."

"Promise." Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou and others responded to their promise, and sent out several people to deliver orders to each song.

Xun Zhen ordered the line to be banned, and when the military order was issued, the songs quickly began to move.

At this time, there were about 1,000 people crossing the river. These 1,000 people belonged to four or five battalions. Among them, the Xun Zhen group was the most orderly and quiet one. Ming, each song goes in order, in an orderly manner, and there is evidence for advancing and retreating, which is even more eye-catching in the chaos. Huangfu Song, who was stationed at the top of the horse, saw it immediately. Originally, he was very dissatisfied with the chaos of the various ministries, but now he showed a little smile, pointed to the flag of General Xunzhen who was walking in the forefront, and said to the left and right: "Zhenzhi Like standing out from the crowd."

1, the member.

In "Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Lu Zhi's Biography", it is said that the clan member is "protecting the Wuhuan Zhonglang general", but the two Han Dynasty seem to have no such position, because it is changed to protect the Wuhuan school captain, if there is any mistake, please correct me.
