The combination of big sticks and jujubes made these newly recruited Qiang cavalry feel much more at ease. At the same time, they secretly warned themselves that they must abide by military discipline and work hard to get promoted. As for the matter of escaping, they had long forgotten about it.
After settling the affairs of these Qiang soldiers, Jia Rong's heart relaxed a lot. So many soldiers joined at once, and they were all cavalry. Some were busy, or more precisely, Jiang Yu was busy.
Jia Rong did not seek Jiang Yu's opinion, because Jiang Yu's eyes just told Jia Rong that the two of them had developed to the point where they did not need words to express, just a look could tell each other, just like a pair of lovers.
, Uh-huh, that’s a bit much.
The reason why Dong Zhuo was able to give Jia Rong so many Qiang soldiers at once was because he did not trust the Qiang people very much, which also gave Jia Rong an advantage.
These Qiang people are not like the Han people who are either rebellious or not. As long as you treat them well, they will work hard. In this way, they can better deepen their control over the army, so that this team only obeys their orders. In the long run,
From a perspective, it is beneficial and harmless.
Jia Rong doesn't have a set of ideas that are different from those of his own race. As long as he is sincerely good to them and gives them a sense of belonging, both Qiang and Han people will be his loyal subordinates.
There were many infantry among these Qiang people. Jia Rong ordered Zhang Wei to select some soldiers from the Han army and give them to Jiang Yu to train as cavalry. The Qiang infantry naturally fell under Zhang Wei's command.
In this battle, the trapped camp did not actually fight in person. They just moved rocks on the mountains to hit the Qiang people under the leadership of Jia Rong. Jia Rong did not have time to test the true combat power of the trapped camp, so he could only put it into the next war.
went.
At this time, Huangfu Song, who had no choice but to retreat to Beidi County, was feeling depressed. He was really unwilling to lose to Li Wenhou like this. He shouldered the heavy responsibility of reviving the Han Dynasty. How could he fail like this? The Han Dynasty was currently facing internal and external troubles.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, news of rebel rebellions spread from time to time in the Han Dynasty, and the people of the Han Dynasty were already in dire straits.
Huangfu Song ordered the soldiers to summon Dong Zhuo to retreat, but they never found the location of the Xiliang Army led by Dong Zhuo. This made Huangfu Song feel uneasy. If the Xiliang Army was destroyed by Marquis Li Wen again, the consequences would be disastrous.
Suddenly, bursts of noise came from outside the camp.
The angry Huangfu Song came out of the camp after hearing the news, intending to teach these soldiers who didn't know what military discipline was. When he saw a horse riding from outside, he was even more furious. They thought the military camp was a place.
But when he heard the cavalry shouting: "The Xiliang Army has won a great victory, the Xiliang Army has won a great victory!" the anger in Huangfu Song's heart suddenly disappeared.
Huangfu Song no longer cared about his identity and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. After the cavalryman told Huangfu Song in detail about the victory of the Xiliang Army, Huangfu Song wiped away the unhappiness in his heart for the past few days and captured Ni.
Yang, the remaining two Qiang armies will be much easier to deal with, and the burden on myself has also been lightened a lot, which makes me feel relieved.
This cavalryman was one of the several scouts sent by Dong Zhuo to conquer Beidi County.
At the critical moment, Huangfu Song did not ask how much the Xiliang army had lost or how many Qiang people had been destroyed. Instead, he asked: "Whose hand was this plan?" Huangfu Song actually asked who was the mastermind of this plan first, which was really strange.
"I don't know who came up with this plan. I only know that the commander of this battle is General Jia Rongjia. He led the soldiers to defeat the Qiang people, and then led his troops to occupy Niyang." The soldier said truthfully.
Huangfu Song showed such an expression, as if the soldier's answer was what he expected. He happily patted the scout on the shoulder and said: "You are a good boy!" The scout who provoked Na was stunned.
To be praised by the commander, this little scout suddenly felt confused and looked at Huangfu Song dully.
After receiving the news of the victory of the Xiliang army, Huangfu Song immediately ordered all the troops to go to the big tent to discuss matters.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Huangfu Song took the trouble to praise the Xiliang army several times. He said that the Xiliang army was brave and resourceful and had excellent soldiers. He said that the generals under the tent were so embarrassed that they almost found a hole in the ground to get in. The generals
I also don’t understand why Huangfu Song, who rarely praises others, was so generous with his words today.
It was not until the generals' ears became calluses when they heard Huangfu Song's praise that Huangfu Song gave the order: "Yuan Pang, you lead 30,000 soldiers to Lian County to contain Beigong Boyu in Lian County."
Yuan Pang immediately accepted the offer.
Looking at Yuan Pang's unhappy face, Huangfu Song continued: "I will send Wentai to assist you, and I will also send several generals to assist you. This time must succeed and cannot fail, otherwise it will be the same as the crime of defeating the army before.
And punished."
Yuan Pang paid his respects again: "Thank you very much, General. I will do my best in this humble position."
The next day, Huangfu Song and Yuan Pang each led 30,000 Han soldiers to the two counties. When they arrived a few days later, Huangfu Song announced the news of the victory of the Xiliang army, which improved the morale of the Han army that had just experienced a defeat.
layer.
Li Wenhou in the city looked at Huangfu Song's banner outside the city and did not dare to look down upon it. Although he had forced Huangfu Song to retreat to the north last time, he did not get any benefits, and he also understood Huangfu Song's power.
, when the Han army arrived, Marquis Li Wen had no choice but to avoid its edge.
Looking at the densely decorated banners outside the city and the well-organized camps, I couldn't take it lightly. The idea of leading an army to besiege the Niyang Xiliang army could not be realized for the time being.
The two sides on the battlefield were facing each other like this, and the smoke-filled battlefield calmed down for a while.
Yuan Pang suffered the last defeat and did not dare to take it lightly anymore. He asked his counselors and generals about everything, followed their opinions, and managed the Han army camp so tightly that even a fly that flew in would be immediately destroyed.
As far as the Han army knew, it was not an exaggeration to call it an iron barrel.
One month later, a decree from the Han court changed the peaceful battlefield in Beidi County.
On this day, an envoy from the imperial court came to Huangfu Song's army. Huangfu Song led his generals to kneel down to welcome the Holy Will.
The eunuch who delivered the order shouted in his sharp voice: "By God's will, the emperor issued an edict that the General of Zuo Chariot and Cavalry has been fighting to no avail and has consumed a lot of food and grass. He should be reduced from the post of General of Zuo Chariot and Cavalry and the capital should be sealed."
The Marquis of Xiang, who has a living estate of two thousand stones, rushed to the capital on the same day, and the war against the Qiang was led by Zhang Wen, the new general of Zuo Chaqi, who admired this."
Huangfu Song received the order to thank him, but the Huangmen who delivered the order saw that there was no profit to be made, so he turned around and left without stopping. Huangfu Song was well known to everyone, so he didn't get any benefits and was involved in it.
The generals were very dissatisfied with this move of the Han court. Now that the Han army had the upper hand and recovered a city, the Han emperor changed his command before the battle. The morale that had finally been improved was also reduced a lot under this imperial edict.
Huangfu Song won the hearts of the soldiers. During the march and battle, he often visited the soldiers and gave the wounded the greatest care. Sometimes he even ate and chatted with the soldiers. This was very rare in the Han Dynasty with its strict hierarchical system. How could such a commander-in-chief fail?
Military spirit, how could it be that these lowest-level soldiers were working hard for him? Now, this commander is about to leave. The soldiers of the Han army were confused for a moment. Will the new commander be so considerate of his subordinates and chat with him?
Do you still condone yourself for being hurt?
It turned out that when Huangfu Song was marching to Beidi County, he saw that the residence of the eunuch Zhang Rang exceeded the standard, so he reported the matter to the Han Emperor; Huangfu Song was a popular Han Dynasty general, and the Han Emperor would not let it go.
Given this once-in-a-lifetime blackmail opportunity, Zhang Rang spent a lot of money to get the Han Emperor to stop pursuing the matter. One can imagine the resentment he felt towards Huangfu Song in his heart.
Moreover, when Zhang Rang asked Huangfu Song for money, Huangfu Song not only refused to give it, but also scolded him. The two things collided, which further aroused Zhang Rang's desire for revenge.
Huangfu Song always believed that the current situation of the Han Dynasty was caused by these eunuchs showing off imperial power. He had long wanted to eradicate them. How could he let go of the eunuchs' faults? Huangfu Song often scolded these eunuchs openly and secretly.
The eunuchs were also gnashing their teeth at him, but he was now a hero of the Han Dynasty. Reporting him in front of the Han Emperor would not only have no effect, but would also make the Manchu ministers attack him.
Zhang Rang learned that Huangfu Song had been defeated by the Qiang in Beidi County and had fought to no avail. Now he was confronting the Qiang. He felt very relieved. He finally got the handle on Huangfu Song, so you can still be arrogant.
This time I will kill you.
In the morning of the next day, Zhang Rang ordered him to report to the people in the court that Emperor Huangfu Song of the Han Dynasty had repeatedly fought without success and spent a lot of money and food. Many ministers also agreed with this proposal. Naturally, the big family did not want the Huangfu family to rise too quickly.
This had an impact on their status. The short-sighted big families complained to Huangfu Song one after another. Only a few big families remained neutral. Looking at the buzzing court, the Han Emperor withdrew and left.
In fact, seeing the ministers attacking each other, Emperor Han felt happy in his heart. He had a vague feeling that he was an emperor. I could control the court with just one order. How refreshing it was.
Zhang Rang, who was familiar with the Han Emperor's character, knew that the Han Emperor would definitely ask for the opinions of several eunuchs after he went to court. Zhang Rang discussed with other eunuchs about participating in Huangfu Song. The eunuchs who usually had little conflicts had the same opinion.
They were surprisingly unanimous, obviously they were all angry at Huangfu Song.
Sure enough, after the Han Emperor came down to court, he asked Zhang Rang and his men about this matter. They all unanimously said that Huangfu Song was not going to win for a long time, so the Han Emperor naturally killed Huangfu Song.
Zhang asked several people to recommend Dong Zhuo as the commander-in-chief this time. Not only did Dong Zhuo perform well in this war, but Dong Zhuo would also show filial piety to several people from time to time. Several people also regarded Dong Zhuo as one of their own, and they naturally thought of the benefits.
They are also their own people, but this group of eunuchs ignored the attitude of everyone in the family.
The Han Emperor also felt that Dong Zhuo's performance this time was indeed good. By occupying Niyang, he turned the tide and was worth cultivating.
I beg you for help, for rewards, for rewards! Your support is the source of the continuous progress of the Iron Cavalry. For the Iron Cavalry, we all work hard together!
