The cavalry general Huangfu Song stayed where he was until the figure of the Long people, sitting and watching, completely disappeared from sight.
At this time, he finally changed his posture and took off his clothes with both hands, revealing his gray temples and wrinkles on his forehead. He tried to turn around on horseback, but was stiffened by the cold wind and almost fell off his mount. Fortunately, Huangfu Li had quick eyes and quick hands, and he was able to turn around.
He quickly put it on his side and helped his uncle upright. Only then did he realize that Huangfu Song's gloves were soaked through.
Huangfu Song handed him the bag and said slowly: "What a dangerous plan! If you are not careful, you will be buried here." He took some time to adapt, and then said to his subordinates: "Go back to Beijing, and you will be busy next.
Miles!"
After that, the thirteen knights walked across the thin ice and turned back into the smoke. Seeing the general returning, the knights took off the branches tied to the horses' tails and let the horses running back and forth rest. These eight thousand knights were the only ones in Chang'an.
With the remaining troops, they had followed Huangfu Song's plan to surprise Li San's troops. At this time, they bluffed in the distance and successfully scared off the Long people. However, the success of this strategy was mostly due to Huangfu Song's reputation.
After leading the eight thousand knights back to Chang'an City, Huangfu Song immediately crossed Yongmen and Beiguan without stopping, and ran straight to the Weiyang Palace to report his duties to the Shangshu Desk. Dong Min, the general of the left, had been waiting in a separate courtyard for a long time.
In the case, he patted his knees anxiously. When he saw Huangfusong entering, he stood up in a hurry. He immediately understood that the crisis was over, showed a relaxed look, and saluted Huangfusong: "The chariots and riders can turn the tide, and they are really the pillars of the country."<
/p>
Huangfu Song ignored these details and asked directly: "Shu Ying, let's not talk about this for now. Have you figured out the whole story about the kidnapping of the emperor the day before yesterday?"
It turned out that on the night of the 15th, Shangshu Lang Zhongshao stayed in Taichung and colluded with his servants Liu Fan, Liu He and Yulin Lang Yinyu to try to kidnap the emperor in the middle of the night and go to Gongsun Zan's tribe in Puban. Who would have expected this?
At that time, Huangfusong took up the post of General of Chariots and Cavalry. At this time, he went to Weiyang Palace to report on his duties. Habayashi Lang Macen, who knew the inside story, mistakenly thought that the matter was leaked and immediately reported it to Huangfusong.
Liu He is the son of Liu Yu, and Liu Fan is the son of Liu Yan. Although these two people have extraordinary status, it can't be delayed. Huangfu Song makes a decisive decision and arrests all those involved in prison. He also transfers the emperor to Changle Palace. On the grounds that the emperor is ill, he is temporarily detained.
Missing the official of the DPRK.
He did this matter secretly and quickly, so that everything went as usual the next day, but he and Dong Min both knew that such a big thing cannot be accomplished by just a few people. No matter in the city or in the Yulin army, there should be ministers involved in the matter.
Among them, it was just hidden and not revealed. However, Huangfu Song took the priority of fending off his enemy Han Sui and kept the matter secret for the time being. Only Dong Min was still secretly pursuing the matter in the palace.
Dong Min shook his head and said: "Without manpower, how can we get news? Even those two thieves, Sha'er, broke their legs and refused to admit it. That Yu Linlang was also loyal. They all said that they wanted to enter the palace and steal because of the wealth.
, and then committed suicide in prison." Huangfu Song was silent when he heard this, and suddenly asked: "How is Ma Cen recently?"
After being stunned for a moment, Dong Min slowly asked: "What role can he play? Since he took the initiative to inform, he naturally told everything he knew, so what else can he ask?"
Huangfu Song didn't answer, so he sent someone to summon Ma Cen, but the result was that Ma Cen had arrived in the palace two days ago. Huangfu Song secretly cried out in his heart, and hurriedly sent people to search for Ma Cen at his home, but they could not find Ma Cen.
After Huangfusong learned of the result, he was silent for a moment and said to Dong Min: "Shuying, please don't continue to investigate this matter. If you continue to investigate, it will not only be in vain, but it will cause chaos in Xijing. Under the current situation, Xijing can no longer be in chaos."
"Yes." His tone was calm, but his words were as hard as iron. Dong Min didn't dare to refute in the slightest.
Next, at Huangfu Song's suggestion, Dong Min took charge of the imperial guard, once again reduced the imperial army, and changed palaces with the emperor every day, living in an uncertain place. In this way, no matter who was behind the robbery of the emperor, short-term
There is nothing we can do within the time.
After handling the matters in the palace, it was already the night of the 18th. Huangfu Song planned to rest in the palace for one night and go to Linjin at Mao the next day. After Gongsun Zan arrived in Puban, the refugees became vassals one after another, growing to nearly 100,000 people.
, the momentum was huge, Duan Xuan's army was infected with many epidemics, and urgent reports piled up, Huangfu Song also knew that he could not delay any longer.
But not long after he lay down, he heard a knock on the door.
Huangfusong's heart was moved. He lifted up his cold quilt and lay quietly on the ground, listening to the footsteps of guards patrolling outside the door. Then he felt relieved and asked the person at the door: "Who is it? What do you need to see me for?"
The voice was very familiar, and he said, "Yizhen, it's me." Huangfusong recognized that the person was Wang Yun, the minister, so he quickly put on his robe and opened the door, welcomed him in, lit a fire and laughed with him, saying:
"It's so late, Master, why don't you take a rest?"
The minister ordered Wang Yun to wear a flaming red fox fur, a virtuous crown on his head, and a letter in his hand. Apparently he had just come out of the minister's desk. He sat on the horse and said to Huangfu Song: "The court situation is so tense now, how can I rest?
Things are piling up in the Shangshutai, and it is difficult to resolve them. As a minister, I have the unshirkable responsibility."
He didn't wait for Huangfu Song to speak, and asked him first: "Yizhen, are you able to meet the emperor today? How is the emperor's condition?"
Huangfu Song was sitting opposite Wang Yun and said, "The emperor is in good spirits. I don't think he will recover soon." He did not want to talk more about this issue and directly asked Wang Yun why he came. Wang Yun pondered for a moment and handed over the letter in his hand.
To Huangfu Song, he said: "This is a letter from a distinguished person. It is of great importance, so I have come here to ask for your advice."
After receiving the letter, Huangfu Song looked puzzled. He opened it and read the beginning of the letter, but it read the word "Bo'an". This made him stand up suddenly and look at Wang Yun. Wang Yun did not wait for him to say anything, but persuaded him first.
He said: "Yizhen, you read it first and then talk!"
Huangfusong stared at him for a long time, then slowly returned his gaze to the letter. He read it carefully twice, and then put the letter into the candlelight. Seeing the paper curled up and burning into ashes, Huangfusong said to Wang Yun: "Master Zi
, what happened today never happened, you just came to visit a friend, I just talked about it occasionally, nothing else."
Wang Yun had never expected that Huangfu Song refused so quickly and without leaving any room. He remained silent for a while and whispered to Huangfu Song: "Now that the world has collapsed, the world is upside down, and the country is in such a situation, Dong Zhuo's crime is unforgivable!
Up and down the court, there are countless people who want to eat flesh and sleep on skin. But we suffer from the lack of soldiers, which is why Dong Zhuo is so rampant. Now that he is comatose and has died, using justice as his rider, this is a rare opportunity to save the country!
How can Yizhen sit back and watch?"
When Huangfu Song heard this, he knew that Wang Yun must have instigated the previous kidnapping of the Emperor. He did not want to participate in it, but he also did not want to antagonize him. He only said: "Master, things are not as easy as you think. It's not yet
That’s when.”
Seeing his perfunctory expression, Wang Yun felt unhappy in his heart. Even when he spoke in a low voice, he was full of anger: "Who else can do this except chariots and cavalry who can destroy thieves who usurp the country and eliminate evil and harm?"
?You eat Han's salary, but don't you worry about your father?"
These words were very heart-wrenching, but Huangfu Song remained calm: "Song is a mortal, but he does his best as a minister. How dare he predict God's will?"
Seeing that Wang Yun's anger became even more intense, he continued to explain: "Nowadays, all the people in Chang'an, inside and outside the palace and provinces, are Dong Zhuo's private armies. Although Song is called a charioteer, who can he mobilize to help? He just makes plans, but in fact he has no troops.
Yes! Master, the murder of Dong Min is indeed extremely difficult. Besides, Dong Min treated us politely. If you really succeed in the assassination, nearly ten thousand soldiers in the city will not obey the military orders, kill the ministers in anger, and swarm the court.
, how many people in Chang'an City can survive?"
Wang Yun often thought that soldiers were no more than puppets, and orders and prohibitions were no more than idleness. At this time, Huangfu Song gave him some instructions, and he suddenly realized it and was sweating profusely. He thought about it for a moment, but could not think of refuting Huangfu Song's words, and was worried that he would defeat Gongsun Zan's army on the front line.
So he asked him: "If the chariot rides here, if it can sweep away Liuhe and clear up the inner world, how confident are you?"
Huangfu Song immediately replied: "To be honest, I'm really not sure."
Wang Yun was very satisfied after hearing this, but his expression was still sad, so he confessed to Huangfu Song and hurried back to the Chancery.
The next day, Huangfu Song put on his armor and led his horse. When he was about to leave the city with his attendants, he was suddenly stopped by someone. He looked back and saw that it was Cai Yong, the general with great features.
Cai Yong hurriedly dismounted, came to him and asked, "Where are you going today?"
Seeing his nervous expression, Huangfu Song couldn't help but laugh and said: "The emperor appointed the governor to supervise the military affairs in Guanzhong. Of course I will go to Yin and Jin to defend against the enemy."
Cai Yong was quite embarrassed when he heard this, but he still tried his best to say: "I have something to do, and I hope Chaqi can help." He took out a letter and gave it to Huangfu Song and said, "If Chaqi has the opportunity to see my son-in-law, I hope Chaqi can help him."
Forward this letter to him."
He saw that Huangfu Song was in trouble, and hurriedly said: "It's just an old man's ramblings. There are no major military and national affairs. If you don't believe it, you can read it yourself."
Huangfu Song then accepted the letter and smiled bitterly at Cai Yong: "Bo Zhe, why are you doing this?"
Cai Yong sighed for a long time, and finally said to Huangfu Song: "Cheqi, I, Cai Bozhe, am already fifty-eight this year. I have a little reputation in the literary world, but if I think about it carefully, I can't make up for your mistakes, and I can't do it for my family.
Proper protection will accomplish nothing."
"Now my little daughter and I live in two places, and I can't retire and return home. I was lucky enough to be valued by the prime minister and get the high position I have now, but I can't help but meet my son-in-law in the sword. I feel so hurt. How can I express it with words?"
Hearing this sentiment, Huangfu Song was also a little emotional. He sighed and said: "It's difficult to trek on the far road." This sentence comes from Cai Yong's "Shu Xing Fu" written when the party was imprisoned. He responded: "That's it.
Uncle Che asked me to do my best."
He was about to turn around and leave when he heard Cai Yong ask from behind: "Chariots, cavalry and soldiers have always been like a magical movie. I wonder why I am going to Yin and Jin?"
Huangfu Song was silent for a while and replied fluently: "If you want to pacify the heroes and punish the rebels, I can't do it. If you clear Weihan, close the dangerous mountains, and drive north to the Xihe River, I can do it."
