Chapter 403 Late night planning, Chu Gong’s ambition
"Hahahaha, okay, well said. I have heard of the name of Guanneihou for a long time, but I just didn't have the opportunity to meet him. If he can cultivate talents like Qingtian, I guess he must be a great person in the world!"
After hearing Chu Xuan's impassioned speech, Chu Gong sincerely praised Wang Yu, his words full of admiration and a hint of curiosity.
However, Chu Gong would not ignore Huang Zhong because he was talking to Chu Xuan. He patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and sighed sincerely: "With your ability to be promoted to Han Dynasty, a mere partial general is really good."
It's a sign of talent, but as a prefect whose official position is no more than one or two thousand dan, I cannot give you a big official position."
Chu Gong's words are also true. He is just a prefect without any military position. The position of partial general is the biggest military position he can get for Huang Zhong.
After all, not everyone is Wang Yu. Although he held the position of Yicheng County Magistrate, he took office for a period of time and then completely disappeared. Even so, no one came to bother him.
Even as a county magistrate, he can consecrate some partial generals without any problem. In the final analysis, his background is too huge.
The emperor had to rely on them, otherwise, who could contain Xianbei, who was growing stronger in northern Xinjiang, and the Jurchens, who had just wiped out Wuhuan.
However, Chu Gong could serve as the prefect of a county, so he was not a person who wasted his reputation. He turned around and said: "It seems that there is God's will in this. It is precisely because a great man like Han Sheng stayed here."
Nanyang, our army can hold on until now under the offensive of Yun Kuang's rebels, waiting for the arrival of Qingtian's army."
"It is precisely because of this that the Yellow Turban thieves cannot advance even an inch into Yuancheng. It can be seen that the ancestors of my great Han Dynasty are also protecting the great Han Dynasty. I am not exhausted yet!"
…………
Chu Gong first praised Huang and Zhong without any trace, and then preached about the destiny of the Han Dynasty to give them a reassurance, lest they feel that there is no hope.
Chu Xuan naturally disagreed with Chu Gong's statement. The Han Dynasty's four hundred years of national destiny had been arranged and no one could change it.
Because the person who arranged this number was the True Immortal of the World, that is, Your Majesty. Even the Qin Dynasty, which swept across the six kingdoms and denounced Fang Qiu, died because of the fate. The man was already riddled with holes, and he still wanted to be a man.
Exceptions are simply whimsical.
The world will eventually fall into his hands.
It was precisely because of this that his master asked him to go down the mountain early and meet Wang Yu in a strange way. This would save a lot of time and trouble in the future, and at the same time, he would have the right to speak under him earlier.
Of course, Chu Xuan could only think about these words in his heart. If he said these words, wouldn't it put his lord Wang Yu in a disadvantageous position? He would not do this.
…………
"Come, come, come, General Han Sheng, General Qingtian, let's not just stand at the door. We should go in first, have a cup of hot tea, and come in and have a good rest!" With that, Chu Gong held hands.
Huang Zhong, holding Chu Xuan's hand, walked directly into the prefect's mansion.
After entering the prefect's mansion, Chu Gong did not put down his hand. Instead, he continued to pull them into the hall of the prefect's mansion. Then he let them sit down, and he went straight to the chief executive and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Chu Gong's face was full of smiles, giving people a sense of intimacy, and he said: "General Qingtian, counting the number of days since you brought reinforcements, the Yellow Turban bandits have been besieging the city for more than a month. .”
"In these days, they have attacked the city countless times, but it still has no effect. Especially after General Qingtian arrived, the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy losses."
"According to statistics from the battle reports from the front, the Yellow Turban Army suffered at least 90,000 casualties, while our army suffered 15,000 casualties. This time, we defeated the Yellow Turban rebels, killing 25,000 enemies and damaging 6,200 ourselves. Result."
"It seems that the Yellow Turban rebellion is just around the corner. Our Nanyang garrison may be able to merge with General Zhu Jun of Yuzhou to defeat the Yellow Turbans of Yuzhou and completely take back the land of Yuzhou."
Perhaps the arrival of Chu Xuan's army gave Chu Gong confidence. He now has mysterious confidence in Chu Xuan and feels that he can definitely defeat or even eliminate the Yellow Turban bandit army outside the city.
These days, Chu Gong was not indifferent to what was going on outside the window. When he named Huang Zhong as a partial general in the memorial, he knew that he knew the situation outside through the messenger.
It can be said that among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, except for Liangzhou, which was not ravaged by the Yellow Turban Army, several other states were affected. Even Bingzhou, known as the first frontier army of the Han Dynasty, was also harassed by the Yellow Turban Army.
After all, the main force of the Bingzhou Army participated in the Battle of Hetao, and there were only a few defenders left in the interior. Tian Hu from the Taihang Mountains seized this opportunity to harass Shangdang County.
It's just that it can't produce any big results.
It can be said that the current Han Dynasty has been turned upside down by these Yellow Turban Army and is almost reduced to a pot of porridge. It is gaining momentum.
Due to the large number of Yellow Turbans and the ability of the thieves in various places to conquer and fight, it can be said that they are invincible and invincible wherever they go. In just two or three months, they have conquered so much territory.
But this kind of troops were blocked in front of Yuancheng. If word of this got out, it would be so embarrassing.
You know, the literati of this period had a big common problem, and that was fame. Although they also liked power, they would rather not have it if they lost their reputation because of it.
And Chu Gong is one of them, even more typical than these people. He has no interest at all in things like power, wealth, and power.
If there is such a thing, it is fame. Who doesn't want to be famous all over the world and be spread by thousands of people? Chu Xuan and Huang Zhong gave him the confidence to become famous.
All he could think about now was defeating the Yellow Turban Army, receiving constant praise from scholars and students, and becoming...a world-famous big shot...

Seeing what Chu Gong said, Huang Zhong, who was standing below, immediately patted his chest and shouted: "Don't worry, Sir, the Yellow Turban bandits below the city are nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs. As long as I, Huang
Loyalty! Take care of all those thieves!"
After saying these words, Huang Zhong couldn't help but laugh. It can be seen that the battles in the past few days have made him more and more confident, and he felt that the Yellow Turban Army was nothing more than this.
When Chu Xuan saw it, he couldn't help but shook his head secretly. Huang Zhong's words were too full. The Yellow Turban Army was not that simple. If Huang Zhong had relied on Huang Zhong alone, Yuancheng would have been captured by the Yellow Turbans long ago.
It is true that Huang Zhong is brave, even someone as strong as Yun Kuang would have a hard time defeating him, but his character is too impulsive. If someone takes advantage of him based on this character, he will probably suffer a lot.
Take today's battle as an example. The Yellow Turbans used Huang Zhong's character to lure him out of the city to fight. Unfortunately, Yun Kuang did not have many strong Yellow Turban generals. Otherwise, it might have been a different situation.
Chen Gong also knew this, so he took advantage of the situation, and through many coincidences, today's victory was achieved.
However, precisely because of this, Huang Zhong was already dazzled by this victory. After saying such a thoughtless thing, Chu Xuan couldn't help but said: "Master Taishou, General Huang, you must not do this."
This is how you underestimate the enemy."
"The Yellow Turban bandits are quite powerful. Yun Kuang is also a very good leader of troops, and coupled with his strong martial arts skills, it is definitely not that easy to deal with. From what we see below, the most important thing for us to do right now is to defend the city.
The best policy is to wait for reinforcements sent by the imperial court!"
Chu Gong knew his shortcomings and was not his strong point in marching and fighting, so he still accepted the suggestions of his subordinates and nodded frequently.
However, Huang Zhong's expression was a little ugly. If he hadn't established a good relationship with Chu Xuan these days, Huang Zhong would have rushed forward and had a heated argument with Chu Xuan.
Even so, Huang Zhong still sneered and said: "Qing Tian is too high-minded about those rabble. I admit that Yun Kuang is indeed powerful, but one person's power is limited after all, and we still rely on soldiers to fight."
"As for those Yellow Turban bandits, to be honest, they are just a group of farmers. No matter how powerful Yun Kuang's army commanding ability is, it will be difficult to train them into soldiers capable of hundreds of battles in a short period of time."
"Take today's battle as an example. They can only run rampant and don't look like they know how to fight. And after these days, our army has grown with blood and fire. With one ebb and flow, how can the Yellow Turban Army be an opponent?
"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener sounded intentional. After Chu Xuan heard Huang Zhong's words, the doubts that had troubled him for a long time were immediately solved.
"So that's it, I said something is wrong." Chu Xuan suddenly realized, and then explained to Huang Zhong: "General Huang, you underestimate the Yellow Turban Army. It is true that these armies are a mob, but how can you be sure that they
They are the real Yellow Turban Army."
"If the rebel army is only of this level, I don't think they can make famous Han generals such as General Huangfu, General Lu, and General Zhu helpless against them. They can only take a defensive position and wait for a favorable opportunity to appear."
"Qingtian, what does this mean?" Huang Zhong suddenly couldn't keep up with Chu Xuan's thoughts, so he asked in confusion. Even Chu Gong's eyes were attracted by Chu Xuan.
"As Han Sheng said just now, I suddenly had an inspiration. The strength of the Yellow Turban Army can be seen from the battle reports these days. It can create such a huge momentum in such a short period of time and capture dozens of people in succession.
Counties and counties, it can be seen that the bandits are not just a bunch of people."
"But these days, the performance of the Yellow Turban Army is not as good as the rumors. In addition to what Han Sheng said just now, after these days, our army has grown with blood and fire, so can't the Yellow Turban Army?"
"Especially, the opponent's leader is a capable general like Yun Kuang. I'm afraid that the Yellow Turbans attacking these days are just ordinary people with a little training. He is using the lives of these people to consume the strength of our Garden City defenders.
"
"At the same time, with the help of blood and fire training in battle, they are forced to learn to survive in order to survive. It can be said that this is stronger than training alone."
"If my prediction is correct, after this battle, Yun Kuang should let the real elite go into battle, and even the main force of the enemy army will arrive."
"After all, in these days, the attacking Yellow Turban Army did not have 200,000 troops. At best, there were only 120,000 or 30,000 troops. Our army does not have an advantage in numbers. If the main force of the enemy army arrives, we should be more careful to deal with it.
.”
"The most reliable thing at the moment is to rely on the protection of the city wall, completely wear out these Yellow Turban rebels, and wait for reinforcements sent by Yuzhou or Jingzhou Governor's Office."
Huang Zhong was not an unreasonable person. After hearing Chu Xuan's explanation, he suddenly understood. However, he was still a little unconvinced, but he was the kind of person who was not good at speaking. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say.
Something, I had to stop turning my head and hum.
But Chu Gong understood, his eyes flashed with light, and he smiled and said: "What Qingtian said is reasonable. The land of Yuancheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also has people like Han Sheng and Qingtian."
Fierce general, as long as our army holds on, I don't think the Yellow Turbans will be able to defeat us."
"I believe that the battle report about Nanyang has been transmitted to Jingzhou Governor's Mansion. As long as we wait for reinforcements, I believe that reinforcements from Jingzhou Governor's Mansion will arrive in a short time!"
"When that day comes, our army will no longer need to guard Yuancheng. We will directly join forces inside and outside to kill the generals and completely annihilate those yellow turban thieves!"
As the prefect, Chu Gong has said this now. What else can Huang Zhong do but choose to obey the order? What's more, he now feels that Chu Xuan's words are reasonable and he has to be on guard against the Yellow Turban Army.
Chu Xuan, who was on the side, felt complicated at the moment. Although he showed full confidence in front of Chu Gong, only he knew that he had no ups and downs in his heart.
He didn't know much about Xu Qiu (qiu), the governor of Jingzhou. He only knew that he was the son of Xu Shu, the general who conquered Liao Dynasty.
When Xu Xuan was an official in the court, he had a serious attitude and praised the latecomers, but fearing that he would fall short, he was temporarily promoted to the governor of Jingzhou.
At that time, Zhang Zhong, the nephew of the Han Ling Emperor's mother, the Empress Dowager Dong, served as the governor of Nanyang. Zhang Zhong relied on his power to indulge in excess and embezzled hundreds of millions.
Empress Dowager Dong sent a regular servant to entrust Zhang Zhong to Xu Qiu, but Xu Qiu replied: "I serve the country and dare not accept orders."
The Empress Dowager Dong was furious and conscripted Zhang Zhong as Sili Xiaowei to show her power. After Xu Qiu arrived in Jingzhou, she immediately reported that Zhang Zhong had embezzled 100 million yuan and ordered Nanyang Champion County to submit a petition to Da Sinong to expose Zhang Zhong. A matter of loyalty.
After that, Xu Qiu reported to the five prefects of Jingzhou and the corrupt people in the counties, and all of them were conscripted and punished, which made him very powerful.
It can be said that this is a capable official, and even Wang Yu praised him highly.
However, capable officials return to capable officials. This only shows that Xu Xuan is strong in domestic politics and governance, but it does not mean that Xu Xuan is strong in military ability.
