Hu Wencai was Hu Zhen, a famous hero in Liangzhou, who had known Dong Zhuo since he was young.
It can be said that Dong Zhuo and Hu Zhen complement each other in Xiliang. Without each other's existence, they would not be able to reach their current heights.
It's just that Dong Zhuo's dominance and personal charisma are much stronger than Hu Zhen, so Hu Zhen became Dong Zhuo's subordinate, but Hu Zhen's status is only lower than Dong Zhuo, so the news told by Ma Teng is most likely true.
of.
"How dare you, Shuzi?"
Facing Huangfu Song's menacing posture, Ma Teng stood up unhurriedly.
"General, I risked my life and came here just to tell the general that Dong Zhuo wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Although we are rebels, we don't want to be a stain on the general. Please consider it, general!"
Huangfu Song faced the east, which is where Luoyang is. He really couldn't believe that the imperial court would allow Dong Zhuo to do such nonsense in the north!
But Ma Teng's arrival did make Huangfusong feel troubled.
Believe him? This indirectly proves that Huangfu Song is colluding with these rebellious officials and traitors! Don’t believe him? Then Dong Zhuo may really hide it and kill him!
"This dynasty is out of power and the world is hanging upside down. The only people who can stabilize the situation are your Excellency and Dong Zhuo'er. Now the grievances have been closed, and we can't live together. Zhuo'er is ruthless and has no relatives, and the soldiers are not attached to him. Your Excellency is now the marshal, and you can use your staff to fight back the country's power.
In other words, to show loyalty at the top and eliminate evil at the bottom, this is what Huan Wen did."
After the initial crusade against the kingdom was over, Huangfu Li's warning was still fresh in his mind. Huangfu Song held the case and fell into deep thought.
Unexpectedly, Thief Dong was not grateful at all for his kindness back then, but instead repaid him with kindness!
Damn Dong Zhongying! I regret not listening to Li'er's words! It's too late now!
Huangfusong scratched his scalp in annoyance. The current situation should not be underestimated. He did not need to worry about the life and death of Han Sui's tribe.
But Dong Zhuo's conspiracy to kill people with a knife really gave Huangfu Song a headache.
He believed Ma Teng's words! Because the reliable information had been written clearly, Han Sui's tens of thousands of remnants had been forced into the vicinity of Wuwei. Once surrounded by Dong Zhuo, they might not be able to stand up.
Huangfu Song raised his head and looked at Ma Teng. He saw that this man had a good nature and was able to sit in his arms without any confusion. He was no worse than Xu Huang. His love for talents suddenly rose in his heart.
"Does Shoucheng have children on his knees?"
"Back to General, I have a son, Mingchao, who is twelve years old this year."
"Oh, it's a little smaller than the vertical one. Can you have a teacher to teach me?"
"The general is joking. The North is a bitter and cold place. It is taught by an unknown teacher. With my status, I cannot hire a famous teacher."
Ma Teng smiled mockingly to himself. Who doesn't want his son to become a talented person, but Ma Teng is quite satisfied with his son. Although he is less knowledgeable, he is born with supernatural powers at a young age and is quite famous in his own circle.
.
"After it was learned that Shoucheng was General Fubo, why did he commit himself to a thief?"
Feeling Huangfu Song's concern, Ma Teng stood up and bowed deeply.
"Ming Gong must have also known that Geng Bi was a traitor and refused to accept loyal advice, which led to the internal strife and defeat. He thought that the court would send knowledgeable people here, but he didn't want Dong Zhuo to take the lead first and regard Liangzhou as his back garden.
, wanting to kill us all. It happened that Han Sui killed the Qiang chief Beigong Boyu and the rebel leader Li Wenhou, and became the northwest rebels. Then the general led an invincible army to attack the crime, and we didn't want to sit back and wait for death. There were wolves in front of us and tigers in the back. The court
It’s like a nest with a broken foundation. Teng has no choice but to join the rebels with the kingdom in order to save his life. Especially after the general defeated the kingdom, we have no backing, so we have no choice but to make an appointment with Han Wen. The general knows it!"
Huangfusong shook his head helplessly. This court was indeed a bit disappointing. Many loyal and good people were forced to embark on a road of no return.
Looking at Ma Teng who was still bent over in the audience, Huangfusong felt that his old face was getting hotter and hotter.
From the time of the Second Emperor Huanling, the great Han Dynasty began to decline more and more, and the central government's control over local areas was almost to the extent that it could only be heard.
But I, as one of the pillars of the Han Dynasty, turned a blind eye.
Sad, deplorable!
Maybe? Just like that Zhuzi thought, this big man really needs to change.
"After Shoucheng's incident here, do you have any intention of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light?"
Ma Teng raised his head excitedly and looked at Huangfu Song with eyes full of longing.
"Ming Gong! It is your wish! Teng is willing to follow Ming Gong to pieces!"
Originally, Ma Teng was full of gloom about his future, but he didn't expect that there was a bright future in the village. When he came, he was driven to the shelf. Who would have thought that General Huangfu would reciprocate a favor, and who would have thought of such a direct way of clearing his name?
Seeing Ma Teng's excitement, Huangfu Song also smiled bitterly. He seemed to be a mud Buddha crossing the river - he couldn't protect himself, right?
The imperial court was in cahoots with Dong Zhuohang, and His Majesty was kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on here.
No! We have to think of some solutions, we can’t just sit back and wait for death!
The court must find someone who can speak frankly to His Majesty. Thinking of this, Huangfusong's face turned dark...
It seems that most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were people who followed the influence of others.
"Gongming, take the tiger talisman and go to Luoyang quickly to see Gongwei and Ziqian! Tell them frankly that a battle will put an end to the Sanfu rebellion, and let them meet His Majesty to ask for 20,000 reinforcements to come here!"
"Here..."
"Remember! Don't let it go through the hands of the general and the three princes! They must be allowed to face the saint in person!"
"Yes! General!"
Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, then understood what Huangfu Song meant, shook his head without any trace, turned around and left the government office.
…
"Zixiu, have you written down the methods and strategies for setting up formations?"
In Zhu Jun's house, Cao Ang sat at the bottom of the house obediently, looking at his nose and mouth, as if he didn't hear Zhu Jun's words, and was so quiet that people couldn't help but slap him twice!
"Haha, Gongwei. You still don't understand this little guy's temperament after all these years? No need to ask, he must be too lazy to complete your homework."
Lu Zhi stroked his beard and looked at Zhu Jun jokingly. This happened not once or twice. Thinking of the homework he had assigned to Cao Ang before, this guy used various excuses to fool him at the beginning.
Since the completion of the special Chinese medicine, this little guy doesn't even pretend anymore. He just stands in front of him with a small leather whip. This guy is like a dead pig who is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He turns a deaf ear!
The success of the special medicine brought Zhang Ji and Cao Ang both fame and fortune. An imperial edict was issued in the palace, and Zhang Ji was directly promoted from Ju Xiaolian to the fifth rank consultant of Tai Hospital, and was directly granted the title of Marquis for his great contribution in saving the Nanyang epidemic.
And Cao Ang is even more remarkable. At the age of only thirteen, he became the youngest Marquis in the history of the Han Dynasty, although both of them were the lowest-ranking Guannei Marquis.
But the Marquis is the Marquis! In terms of rank alone, this little guy's salary is already higher than that of Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi.
But this little guy's first reaction after receiving the imperial edict made everyone marvel.
The child prodigy was indeed a child prodigy, and he directly composed half of the poem.
"Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years!"
How domineering and arrogant, he vowed to plead for all people at a young age.
As the saying goes, "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each wave is stronger than the last!"
Everyone feels inferior!
I highly admire this half of Cao Ang's poem!
His reputation among the people was as high as that of the sages, and the name "Little Saint" spread to the entire Han Dynasty at a rapid speed.
Looking at the bastard in front of him, Zhu Jun couldn't help but hit him, scold him...
"Damn it! If Yi Zhen is here, how dare this kid do this?"
Zhu Jun was so angry that he glared at Cao Ang, wishing he could call Huangfu Song over and watch this guy get beaten while holding tea!
"General? How is the teacher doing now? Is there any latest news?"
When Huangfu Song was mentioned, Cao Ang's closed eyes opened immediately as if a mechanism had been turned on, and he looked at Zhu Jun curiously. This flattering look was completely different from the attitude of the dead pig just now who was not afraid of being scalded with boiling water.
"Hmph! Thank you for your filial piety!"
Zhu Jun rolled his eyes at Cao Ang, and Lu Zhi slowly poured the tea and looked at Cao Ang with a smile.
"It's not difficult for Zixiu to know, but you have to promise us something."
"Haha... Master Lu said it doesn't matter, I'm not that kid who can be fooled easily..."
"Well……"
Seeing Cao Ang's sidelong glance at him, Lu Zhi's face turned red and he suddenly became speechless. Yes, although the little guy in front of him is not old, he is very shrewd.
"Report..."
Before Lu Zhi could put forward the conditions, a shout from outside the door diverted the attention of the three people outside the door.
"Report! General, General Fufeng Huangfu and Colonel Xu Huang want to see you!"
"What?"
Cao Ang stood up directly, ignored Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi, and walked straight out of the living room and ran to the front yard.
"Old man, what's going on? Why did you only send Gong Ming here? Could it be? Something big happened?"
At this moment, Cao Ang was very anxious. Within a short distance of a hundred meters, Cao Ang had already thought of three or four endings that he did not want to face!
"Gongming!"
"Zixiu?"
After shouting, Cao Ang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Huang's face did not look sad.
The best news is that the worst idea doesn't come true!
Xu Huang was also very surprised when he saw Cao Ang, and saw Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi panicking behind him. He didn't expect that the people he was looking for in General Zhu Jun's house were all there. Xu Huang also breathed a sigh of relief, and now he could explain the matter clearly. Already.
"Snapped……"
Zhu Jun slapped the case and got up, furious!
In the empty living room, Zhu Jun knew that Xu Huang must have something secret when he came alone, so he sent away all the servants, leaving only four people in the living room.
"How dare Dong Zeian do this?"
After hearing about Huangfusong's current situation, Lu Zhi was so angry that his eyes widened and his hand stroking his beard began to tremble.
On the contrary, Cao Ang rubbed his chin with his hand and looked at the roof without saying a word.
"General, Your Majesty! The old general specifically asked you two to meet the Holy One in person so that His Majesty can know everything that is happening in the North and the West."
"this……"
Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi looked at each other. It was not that they were unwilling, but... they couldn't do it!
Nowadays, the external power of the court is controlled by the He family, and the internal power of the court is controlled by the Empress Dowager Dong and Shi Changshi. It is as difficult as going to heaven to meet the young emperor!
Since the typhoid epidemic broke out in Nanyang, it was euphemistically called to protect His Majesty's body.
There were many checkpoints in the court, and the ministers could only watch the Young Emperor on the throne from a distance. Even the remonstrances had to be reviewed by the Queen Mother He before they could be sent to the Young Emperor.
However, the Young Emperor and Cao Ang were as old as each other, but they were like ignorant children and could only speak according to the arrangements of the Queen Mother He.
All the courtiers dared not speak out in anger, and in the past three years, the whole of Luoyang fell into a strange environment.
It is reported that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill and entrusted Liu Xie to Jian Shuo. When the epidemic broke out, the entire Han Dynasty seemed to be at a standstill, and everything was postponed indefinitely. Now that special Chinese medicine has become popular, Empress Dowager Dong and Shi Changshi are He conspired to depose the young emperor and make the prince Xie the emperor.
It's just that the big man has just recovered from his serious illness, so the two sides haven't broken their skin yet.
Xu Huang saw the expressions of the two of them, and his heart thumped, "Oh no!"
"General, my lord? What should we do?"
Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi were silent, not knowing what to do for a while.
"For the current plan, we must rescue the teacher first! As for the court, let's do our best to obey fate!"
Cao Ang's voice came to the ears of the three of them. Although they didn't quite understand what he meant, they seemed to see some hope.
"How do you say this, Zixiu?"
Zhu Jun looked at Cao Ang in confusion. It was necessary to save people, but he still hoped to find a way to get the best of both worlds.
"The Han court is no longer able to control the North. This is a fact. Instead of crying to the emperor, it is better to save yourself! Old man Zuo once said that the world is about to be in chaos. This Han court..."
Cao Ang moved Zuo Ci out again. Anyway, it wasn't me who said this, it was the old man who said it. Even if he came to visit, Cao Ang would have a reason.
Because I'm still a child, is it illegal to hear rumors?
"Does Zixiu know that if he does this, he will be criticized in the future?"
Lu Zhi looked at Zhu Jun, who was silent, and roughly understood what Cao Ang meant, but the aftermath had become a major concern for everyone!
"Master Lu, you have lived in this world for only a few decades, and you don't even have to protect your own life, so you have to worry about what happens after you die?"
Cao Ang smiled. The ancients focused on leaving a name after death, but Cao Ang did not. He had no sense of belonging to this big man. Who cares whether he left a name or not?
Besides, since ancient times, history has been written by the victors.
"Tell me about your method. If it works, I'll support you even if I'm old."
Zhu Jun knocked on the table and looked at Cao Ang with a heavy face. On one hand, he was a close friend of life and death for many years, and on the other hand, he was loyal to the imperial court for his whole life. However, this imperial court is now riddled with holes...
"Gongming, what is the current situation in Fufeng?"
As if he were at home, Cao Ang took out the map from under the desk and placed his finger on the winding position to observe the surrounding terrain.
"Four days ago, Ma Shoucheng said that the Dong thief was about to complete the siege of his troops, and received news that the Dong thief planned to frame the general as a collaborator. He risked his own life to come and tell the general, hoping that the general could save his life."
"So, it's possible for Xu Rong and Dong Min to attack the teacher at any time?"
"That's right!"
Xu Huang has been running all the way without rest, and he was a little shaken after answering.
"Dianwei! You have to make a trip."
Cao Ang frowned. He could imagine the distance of more than a thousand miles. Xu Huang came here non-stop, and he must not have had much rest. Now it is unrealistic for him to go back immediately. And Dian Wei is the best candidate.
"As a veteran general, it is my duty to do so!"
Dian Wei stood up and clasped his fists, standing quietly in front of Cao Ang, waiting for the next instruction.
"Bring Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zilong with you. They should also go see the big scene!"
"good!"
"I'll give you two tips. Don't open them unless absolutely necessary. Remember!"
After Cao Ang finished speaking, he turned around to write and draw, and then seriously handed the two kits to Dian Wei.
"Your purpose is to rescue the teacher! Others..."
Cao Ang bit his lip, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"If you can carry it, take it with you! If you can't carry it with you, abandon it!"
Cao Ang couldn't help but choked up. He knew that those who were with Huangfu Song were also the soldiers who trained with him three years ago!
Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi looked at each other, admiring Cao Ang's courage. They both understood how difficult it is to protect a person on the battlefield!
A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find!
Dian Wei saw Cao Ang's intolerance and reached out to pat his weak shoulder.
"We! We swear to the death to bring the old general back!"
After finishing speaking, Dian Wei bowed his hands to Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi, turned around and left!
"Wait for me……"
Xu Huang raised his hand and was about to follow him when Zhu Jun pulled him back.
"Gong Ming can rest peacefully for a night, and it won't be too late to catch up with them tomorrow..."
…
"Sir! In three more days, we can complete the siege of Han Sui!"
In Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo, who was sitting high on the stage in Jinyang City, was stroking his beard and was feeling particularly happy as he listened to the reports from the audience!
"The Sanfu chaos will end in my hands!
He quickly sent someone to tell Shuying that Fufeng would be surrounded within three days and not a single ant could escape!
Also, hurry to Luoyang and tell the remnants of the traitor Han Sui to flee into Fufeng County. Huangfu Song not only failed to capture them, but actually took them all under his command."
"Here..."
After issuing the order, Dong Zhuo watched the ordering soldiers disappear and then stood up. This frame-up plan was thought up in collaboration with Li Ru, Hu Zhen and others more than ten days ago.
However, Dong Zhuo never expected that Hu Zhen told concubine Ji after being drunk, and that concubine was exactly the spy arranged by Han Sui to stay with Hu Zhen.
"Old Huangfu Yizhen! I said, I swear to kill you! Hahahaha..."
