The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

After reading He Yong's letter, Xi Zhicai said: "At this juncture, once General Huangfu leaves Jizhou, this Jizhou may be in chaos!"

Xun You agreed with Xi Zhicai's opinion and said: "Nowadays, not only are thieves swarming in various parts of Jizhou, but the Yellow Turbans are constantly infiltrating the refugees, waiting for an opportunity to make trouble, and the giant thieves Wangdang and Chu Feiyan in the mountains in the west are in close contact with each other and are stupid. It is just a surging volcano. If the imperial court transfers General Huangfu at this time, there will be chaos in Jizhou. レm♠思♥路♣客レ"

Only Xun You and Xi Zhi can see this, and of course the Gong Gong Gongs in the court can see it, but the question at hand is not "can you see it", but that there is no one available in the court.

The two great heroes in the eradication of the Yellow Turbans were Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun's mother died of illness. He abandoned his office and returned home to keep his filial piety. Now only Huangfu Song can be used.

It can also be seen from this that after the chaos of the yellow turbans, the world of the Han family is already riddled with holes, and fires are everywhere. ..

Xu Zhong and Xun Cheng did not have as much understanding of the current situation as Xun You and Xi Zhicai, and their vision and insight were not as good.

Xun Zhen sighed: "Zhicai, Gongda, you are right. As long as General Huangfu is transferred, within a month, Jizhou will be in chaos! ... I can't control other counties, but Zhao County must not be disrupted. ."

He Yong wrote this letter to Xun Zhen. One was to let Xun Zhen prepare for Huangfu Song's departure, and the other was to imply that Xun Zhen could take this opportunity to make military exploits and keep Zhao County safe, and so on. , If Jizhou is in chaos, and Zhao County is alone, then he will stand out from the crowd, and he will be very conspicuous. At that time, He Yong and Yuan Shao can find a better position for him.

After all, it is still necessary to enter the mountain as soon as possible to attack thieves.

Wang Dang and Chu Feiyan were in close contact with each other, and it was obvious that they were going to cause trouble. Huangfu Song had not left before they left, so how could they be honest once Huangfu Song left? Putting various factors together, it is imminent to enter the mountain and attack the thief.

Xi Zhicai pondered for a while and said, "Besides attacking thieves, there is one more thing that needs to be planned in advance."

"What's the matter?"

"As He Gongxin said, the imperial court is going to transfer General Huangfu to Chang'an, so it is obviously impossible for General Huangfu to go alone, and he will definitely take some of the troops in the state. If you are taken away by General Huangfu, it will make things worse, and the new state shepherd or the governor may call the lieutenant's righteous soldiers and horses."

It is indeed possible.

Xun You also thought of this and said, "Indeed. Lieutenant, this matter needs to be carefully considered."

Xun Zhen nodded and said, "It has to be carefully considered."

What he and Xun You said were "considered carefully", the literal meaning was the same, but the meaning in their words was actually different. When Xun You said "considerate carefully," he meant to ask Xun Zhen to consider which one he would hand over to the state if the new state shepherd or the governor called his men and horses. When Xun Zhen said "considerate carefully," she meant to think about how to refuse this transfer order.

If Huangfu Song called his men and horses, Xun Zhen would respond with full force and actively respond without saying a word. Huangfu Song had a kindness to him, and he was very respectful of Huangfu Song's military ability and character, and would not refuse Huangfu Song's transfer order. But it was someone else who came to be the state shepherd or governor, but Xun Zhen was reluctant to hand over the soldiers and horses he had trained so hard.

After thinking about it for a while, Xun Zhen could not find a reason to refuse.

Even if the imperial court no longer has a prefectural shepherd, and a prefect is here, as long as the imperial court gives the lower authority the power to control the troops and horses in the prefecture, the prefect's order, Xun Zhen, cannot be refused.

After much deliberation, Xun Zhen had no choice but to give up, and gave up the plan to refuse to obey orders if this happened, and made a decision: If you really want to transfer my troops, then hand over the newly trained 2,000 new soldiers. That is, in a word, righteousness from the old part can never be handed over.

After discussing what might happen if Huangfu Song was transferred, Xun Zhen had a draft, and ordered Xu Zhong and Xun Cheng to go back to the barracks immediately, and now they began to prepare to enter the mountain to attack the thieves.

"The epidemic has subsided, and the weather is getting warmer. The time to send troops is set before the middle of next month."

Xu Zhong and Xun Cheng respectfully complied with their promises and took orders to return to the camp.

...

In early March, not long after the epidemic completely subsided, Xun Zhen got the exact news that the edict that Huangfu Song should be guarded in Chang'an was sent to the prefectural shepherd's mansion in Gaoyi, the prefecture.

With Xunzhen's foundation in the court, he was able to get this matter early, not to mention Huangfu Song, he had already learned the details and was ready for this edict.

Since Huangfu Song rejected Yan Zhong's suggestion to persuade him to rebel, and even though he saw that the Han Dynasty was in danger of being destroyed, he still decided to be a pure minister, so naturally he would not have the slightest resistance to this imperial edict. On the day of the edict, he ordered the state soldiers stationed in the various counties of Jizhou in accordance with the will of the edict, from which a total of 3,000 people were recruited and ordered to go to Chang'an, while he himself was light and simple, and only took more than a hundred personal soldiers to leave Gaoyi. , go to Luoyang Miansheng first.

There are several ways to go from Gaoyi to Luoyang. Huangfu Song chose the route of Zhaojun and Weijun, but it was because he wanted to see Xunzhen again.

Xun Zhen and Liu Heng left Handan, picked up Huangfu Song at the border between Zhao County and Changshan County, and drove south in his car.

Huangfu Song's edict was in his body, and he traveled very fast. He only walked in Zhao County for three days. On the third day, he arrived at the border between Zhao County and Wei County, and stayed here for one night. In the evening, he summoned Xun Zhen to the tent, and the two had an interview all night.

"Lieutenant, what did the general tell you?" Xuan Kang, who was accompanying him, was curious.

Although Xun Zhen didn't sleep all night last night, she was not tired because of the pressure.

He was stationed at the border of Ma-Zhao County and watched Huangfu Song's car drive into Wei County. He sighed and said, "The general said that Jizhou might be in chaos, and ordered me to strike first, to exterminate the bandits in Zhao County, and then wait. After the new governor takes office, he will fully cooperate with the new governor."

Huangfu Song was an outstanding man of his generation, he used his troops like a god, and he understood the overall situation of Jizhou better than Xun Zhen, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai. He was very clear about the possible rebellion in Jizhou. The edict, but he knew that neither the emperor, nor the scholar-bureaucrat in the court, nor the **** in the palace would allow him to stay in the position of Jizhou shepherd for a long time. The princes, Jizhou is also a big state, and it is the place where Emperor Guangwu's "dragon rises". The strategic position is extremely important. How could the court keep him there for a long time? Second, the Han Emperor Cemetery in Chang'an can't be missed.

However, not disobeying the edict does not mean that he is relieved to Jizhou. Among these counties in Jizhou, Xunzhen is the only one who reassures him the most, and who thinks he can deter the rebellion the most, so he exhorted him when he parted.

For Huangfu Song's loyalty to the "Neixin Royal Family", Xun Zhen sighed deeply.

He thought: "If you reject the imperial edict, it will be a rebellion for the imperial court, and will only lead to more trouble, but if you do not reject the imperial edict, the people of Jizhou will be in chaos. General Huangfu is also left and right. It's embarrassing, I have to listen to the edict."

After sending Huangfu Song away, Xun Zhen and Liu Heng returned to Zhao County.

Liu Heng then cleaned up the mess left by the epidemic~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Xun Zhen was actively preparing for the battle.

The news of Huangfu Song's departure from Jizhou will soon spread. Changshan, Chu Feiyan and Wang Dang in the mountains west of Zhaojun should have learned the news by now. If they want to make trouble, it is not far away.

Xun Zhen had to strike first before they made trouble. Because he started early, the mobilization of the army, intelligence, logistics and other aspects of the work are almost ready, and he has decided to send troops after five minutes.

However, before he sent troops, a piece of news came from Wei County, but when Huangfu Song passed through Yecheng in Wei County, he found that the residence of Zhao Zhong's family, the general servant of the middle age, exceeded the regulations and had overstepped the truth. Residential forfeiture. Zhao Zhong is a native of Yecheng, he is a permanent servant in the middle, and the emperor calls him his grandmother.

Just based on the emperor's favor on Zhao Zhong, Huangfu Song's impeachment is obviously useless. Huangfu Song will not be ignorant of this truth, but he is still impeached.

After Xun Zhen heard the news, she sighed several times and said, "The general is determined to be a pure minister."

Soon, it was time to send troops.
