The Emperor of the Han Dynasty also wanted to kill Huangfu Song, a famous Han general in the world. Huangfu Song put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion and became a great contributor to the Han Dynasty. His reputation in the army was extremely high, and he was vaguely suspected of overshadowing his master.
, will always be a scourge, and there is nothing wrong with getting rid of it as soon as possible. The Han Emperor has not paid attention to the mere Qiang people. After many years of wars, the Qiang people are not still like this.
On the second day, when the Han Emperor expressed his decision, he was unanimously opposed by all the ministers. Huangfu Song could be demoted, but he could not let Dong Zhuo, a mountain man, take the post. The post of commander-in-chief of the Han army should be held by a noble family.
The bottom line of aristocratic families is not to allow those rough and arrogant warriors to assume power. Going to court with those rough and arrogant warriors is a shame in the eyes of these scholar-bureaucrats. This has also led to many generals of the Han Dynasty to be both civil and military.
He was able to go to court and go to the battlefield. Huangfu Song was able to become the commander-in-chief of the Han army because he came from a noble family and was a Confucian general.
Some famous generals of the Han Dynasty could not withstand the repeated rejection by these scholar-bureaucrats, so they had no choice but to become apprentices of famous families and enter the academy.
The Han Emperor couldn't bear the remonstrances of these persistent ministers, and agreed that Zhang Wen should succeed Huangfu Song and become the new commander-in-chief of the Han army. Of course, the Han Emperor took this opportunity to ask for a lot of food and grass from those noble families, and he was a little happy.
Opportunities like this are rare. In the past, when there were wars, these noble families only knew how to give advice over and over again, and they were willing to give out a grain of food.
Seeing that it was difficult to disobey the holy will, Huangfu Song had no choice but to order the three armies to retreat to Beidi County again and wait for the arrival of the cavalry general Zhang Wen. Huangfu Song did not have much objection to Zhang Wen's appointment as commander-in-chief of the Han army. Zhang Wen himself was talented.
As a scholar, his strategy is not inferior to his own. Unfortunately, such a great situation was broken by an imperial edict from the Han Emperor.
The Han troops in Lingzhou and Lian County retreated. The Xiliang army could no longer defend a city alone. They retreated overnight, taking away everything they could and burning everything they could not take away, leaving nothing for the Qiang people.
Useful things.
After Li Wenhou of Lingzhou got the news, he laughed up to the sky and did not miss this golden opportunity. He once again sent soldiers to occupy Niyang County. The generals who led the troops were Li Wenhou's confidants.
In Beidi County, Huangfu Song summoned the three armies and announced the Han Emperor's will.
After leading the army for many years, Huangfu Song also understood that these soldiers must have emotions. These soldiers were brought out by himself. After Zhang Wen arrived, there would definitely be many difficulties that would affect the subsequent battle.
Huangfu Song comforted his generals one by one and calmed their bad moods. Although some generals were very unhappy with Huangfu Song's resignation, Huangfu Song persuaded himself in this way and had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed.
Some generals who were die-hard loyal to Huangfu Song privately advised Huangfu Song to lead an army to attack Luoyang, to clear the emperor's side, to kill Jian Ni, and to bring peace to the Han Dynasty. Huangfu Song was immediately furious and gave these generals a severe punishment.
Looking at the honest general who was being trained by him, Huangfu Song sighed and said: "You must never say that in the future. As Han generals, we eat the emperor's salary and share the emperor's worries. We must never say such rebellious and unethical words in the future."
It was not only these generals who persuaded me. When he led the victorious army, a famous Hanyang scholar once advised him to take power and rule. However, his deep-rooted thoughts over the years have always told him that he should eat the emperor's salary and share the emperor's worries.
Why didn't Huangfu Song understand that his achievements were too high, which would easily arouse the suspicion of the Han Emperor? Since ancient times, those who had great achievements and shocked their masters would have a good ending. If the emperor wanted his ministers to die, they would have to die, so he accepted the orders of the Han Emperor.
, Huangfu Song comforted his generals and left Beidi County lightly.
Only a few days later, Zhang Wen rushed over. After Zhang Wen was appointed by the Han Emperor, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the current situation and dissatisfied with Huangfu Song's fate. The famous Han general and commander-in-chief of the Han army unexpectedly
It was replaced as soon as it was said to be replaced. Now the situation in the Han Dynasty does not allow for any sloppiness, but the Emperor of the Han Dynasty still acted like this.\\..\\
There was no room for delay on the battlefield, so Zhang Wen rushed all the way to Beidi County without stopping.
Although Huangfu Song was replaced by the imperial court, he still had a certain weight in the imperial court. Before leaving, he left Zhang Wen a letter and recommended Jia Rong again to the Han Emperor. Jia Rong had previously refused the order and fled.
, it stands to reason that Huangfu Song should not recommend him to the Han court again.
Through this confrontation with the Qiang people, Huangfu Song once again appreciated Jia Rong's wit and strategy, and Jia Rong was once again pushed to the top of the court.
Let's say that after Zhang Wen arrived in Beidi County, he was naturally warmly welcomed by the Han army. Whether it was from the heart or not, it looked like that anyway.
Changing commanders before battle is a taboo for military strategists, as it can easily lower morale. Morale is a mysterious and mysterious thing, but its influence cannot be ignored. It can make weak soldiers burst into powerful combat effectiveness, just like a lion leading a herd of sheep.
Fighting is sometimes more effective than a sheep leading a group of lions.
After arriving in Beidi County, Zhang Wen did not start a war. The first thing he had to do was to gather the morale of the army. Zhang Wen awarded all the rewards from the Han Emperor to the soldiers, ordered the kitchen to improve the food, and personally led the soldiers to train. Compared with Huangfu
What Song had done before was still the same; although the soldiers were dissatisfied with Huangfu Song's transfer, soldiers were still soldiers and orders must be carried out.
Zhang Wen's efforts were not in vain, and gradually the soldiers accepted him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia Rong seized the opportunity to get in touch with the newly recruited Qiang cavalry under his command, and appointed Jiang Yu to brainwash them continuously, that is, to do their ideological work, so that these surrendered Qiang soldiers would completely belong to the Han army and would not be defeated.
Defections will occur.
The next thing to discuss is the use of troops against the Qiang people. Of course Zhang Wen understands the current situation of the Han Dynasty and does not adopt the strategy of defending Beidi County.
Half a month later, Zhang Wen led 80,000 Han troops, and Li Wenhou led 90,000 Qiang troops. They faced each other between Lingzhou and Fuping.
The tranquility before the storm was suppressed in the hearts of every Han soldier. The soldiers who usually chatted about each other for a while after dinner also stopped talking in a tacit understanding, quietly waiting for the arrival of the war, and worked harder in training.
Among them, the Jia Rong Division of the Xiliang Army was training in full swing, with cavalry charge operations and infantry combined operations, practicing over and over again.
In the main camp of the Han army, Dong Zhuo repeatedly advised Zhang Wen: "General, now that our army is at a disadvantage, we should stay calm. When the enemy makes any changes, it is not too late for our army to attack again."
After Zhang Wen thought about it repeatedly, he still shook his head in denial. The current situation of the Han Dynasty did not allow the Han army to delay any longer. Food and grass were already running low. If the delay continued, let alone fighting, he would starve to death.
Most of the generals also agreed with Dong Zhuo's suggestion, believing that it was better to stay still than to move and to wait for the Qiang people to change.
Recalling what Huangfu Song left in the letter before he left, Zhang Wen looked at a general behind Dong Zhuo and said, "Tell me what you think."
Jia Rong saw Zhang Wen pointing his gaze at him and was very puzzled. He had never dealt with Zhang Wen before. What was going on? Could it be that his personal charm was so great that he had not noticed it before.
Time did not allow Jia Rong to continue thinking, so he handed over his hands and replied: "General, I agree with General Dong's opinion. It is better to be still than to move. What we have to do now is to stop with silence. What's more, our army is smaller than the Qiang people, and our army is smaller than the Qiang people.
The Qiang people had many cavalry, but they missed a single hit and ran away, unable to be pursued by the infantry. The Qiang general Li Wenhou was not a good man and was quite strategic, so our army had better wait for changes."
Dong Zhuo gave Jia Rong a kind smile, and Jia Rong said exactly what he was thinking.
Yuan Pang and other generals also advised Zhang Wen to wait for the opportunity. They had all suffered from Li Wenhou, so they naturally understood the power of it.
Zhang Wen shook his dizzy head, waved his hands and said, "It's in your opinion." Zhang Wen didn't know that he also had the same idea as Huangfu Song, to end the war as soon as possible so that the big man in the storm could breathe.
"Where is the grain transport officer?" Zhang Wen shouted.
A general said in response, "The humble duty is here."
"How much food is left in the army?" Zhang Wen asked.
"General, I still have ten days' worth of food."
"Urge the imperial court to prepare food and military pay." Zhang Wen didn't look very good.
The grain transport officer responded with a look of embarrassment: "I accept my order from my humble position."
Now that Jia Rong is not in his position or pursuing political affairs, he does not need to worry about the problem of food and grass. He just needs to fight the battle in front of him. When Jia Rong actually comes to take power, he understands the difficulty in Zhang Wen's heart now.
The grain transport officer came to the capital with Zhang Wen's order to urge for grain and grass. Naturally, the Han Emperor was furious again. He scolded Zhang Wen for delaying the military plane because of his child, and did not know how to solve the problem quickly. This caused all the ministers to remain silent, fearing that a
If you say something inappropriate and get hit with a gun, you will suffer.
After the Han Emperor finished his anger, he looked at his ministers with a sneer and said, "It was you who recommended Zhang Wen as commander-in-chief again and again. Now that we are short of food and grass, what should we do?"
As soon as the ministers saw this posture, they knew that they were going to lose another layer of their skin by the Han Emperor.
Yuan Wei stepped forward and replied: "I am willing to pay a thousand gold coins for food and wages." After saying that, the flesh and skin on his face trembled, obviously reluctant to give up. However, there were people from the Yuan family in the army, so he had to endure the pain.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty put his palms in his hands and laughed and said, "Tai Fu Yuan is commendable for his loyalty!"
When the other ministers saw that Yuan Wei had taken the lead in donating, they also bled.
The Han Emperor laughed heartily and kept praising all the ministers. After all, praise does not cost money. Seeing them all look so painful, the Han Emperor felt even more happy.
After a month's supply of food and fodder was prepared, the Han Emperor did not forget to issue an order to Zhang Wen to quickly eliminate the Qiang people. Now, some Xiao Xiaoxiao rebelled in the Han Dynasty and war broke out.
Zhang Wen was still confronting the Qiang people and had no intention of starting a war. The counselor's words further strengthened Zhang Wen's determination to confront the Qiang people.
Thank you for your support! Your support is the source of the progress of the cavalry!
