Chapter 25: The grass and trees are yellow and the wild geese fly north (1)
If you want to understand such a foggy confrontation between Gongsun Xun and Huangfu Song, you must know a premise, that is, all sensible people in the world know that Liangzhou is centrifugal towards the Han Dynasty!
Many years ago, before Gongsun Xun was crowned and before he became an official, he felt something from Han Sui; slowly, as he became an official, the more things he came into contact with, the more he understood what Liangzhou had to do with Luoyang.
He was disgusted and angry. He also understood more and more what the central government's neglect and discrimination against Liangzhou meant.
Turning around, in another time and space, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quickly suppressed in less than a year. Why is it recognized as a sign of troubled times?
The answer is simple. As Gongsun Xun and Yan Zhong revealed when they were fighting each other, it made everyone realize how vain the Han Dynasty was and how riddled with holes it was. The whole world was dissatisfied with this world.
How many people are there?!
After this chaos, for those heroes with great ambitions and outstanding talents, they will question and doubt... Why are those people able to occupy high positions, but I can only fight to the death for six hundred stones, one thousand stones? Or even
Not popular?
It is even more direct for those careerists who have always been dissatisfied with the Han Dynasty... Zhang Jiao, a terminally ill cult leader, can raise his arms and call for the world to respond, bring out 300,000 to 400,000 troops, and stir up chaos in the world, then I
Why not? Was I too careful before?
And where are the most people dissatisfied with the Han Dynasty? Of course it is Liangzhou.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was about to end quickly, and Gongsun Xun had to consider and explore the situation ahead. In the eyes of him and his trusted staff, in the future, apart from the old-fashioned central emperor, eunuchs, and scholars,
In addition, martial arts talents like himself and Huangfu Song are undoubtedly the biggest variables in the situation in Liangzhou.
Therefore, today's questioning of the direction came, using the most sensitive issue of Liangzhou and the current situation of the decline of the Han Dynasty to test and stimulate Huangfu Song.
What's interesting is that Huangfu Song himself was cunning and cunning, so he didn't take advantage of this flaw, but suddenly Yan Zhong appeared.
Of course, even if he succeeded and verified some things, he probably couldn't believe that Yan Zhong and Yan Shude were so impatient to kill Gongsun Xun... In other words, this was all thanks to Gongsun Auntie, who didn't know about this Yan
Zhong was originally a radical among Liangzhou scholars in another time and space, and he would have encouraged Huangfu Song to rebel without being stimulated by Gongsun Xun!
Liangzhou people really can’t wait.
In the camp with only two people, Huangfu Song sat in a daze on the chair in the middle. He couldn't recover for a long time. On the tables next to him, a piece of incense was burning gently in the incense burner, which he brought to the camp.
A slightly sweet aroma.
Yan Zhong’s words couldn’t be more clear:
First of all, the people of Liangzhou have been discriminated against and treated unfairly by the central government for so long, and they will not give up this great opportunity if they want to rebel for a long time;
Secondly, the words of this famous scholar from Xiliang did not come from a momentary sentiment, but were deliberate. They did not mean his own thoughts, but represented the thoughts of many people in Liangzhou.
However, the interesting thing is that for Huangfu Yizhen, who is the most popular person in Liangzhou, he is really not shocked by these two points, because he has long seen something wrong with himself as a counselor in the plot.
He just turned a blind eye. As for the situation in Liangzhou, from his perspective, it was even more clear.
The real problem is that if Liangzhou is going to rebel in winter, it means that the plan Yan Zhong mentioned is actually feasible! At least from a military perspective, it has a high probability of success!
Entering winter, the counter-rebellion here has just ended, and there is a rebellion in Liangzhou. Then Luozhong is empty of soldiers and horses. As long as Huangfu Song can hold back the army in his hand, he can find any reason to go straight to Luoyang. If he can connect to the west by then,
Liang rebels... He can really destroy the Han family without any effort.
Then, Hebei and the Central Plains, the two foundations of the Han Dynasty, are now exhausted. He can easily attract the people of Yongliang and use the wealth of Sili to sweep these two places easily.
but……
"Junhou!" Yan Zhong saw the other party's silence and knew that the famous Liangzhou general had been shaken, and then he knelt down directly. "If you don't take what God wants, you will suffer disaster...Have you forgotten what happened to Han Xin? Gongsun
Xun's words today are obviously hesitant about the future. If you hold him back, the world will really belong to us Liangzhou people! And he said, you actually want to die for that mediocre person in Beigong? "
Huangfu Song remained silent.
"Your Majesty!" Yan Zhong roared in a low voice and kowtowed to the point of bleeding.
"Get up!" Huangfu Song was still lying on the captain's chair in the tent, and then let out a long sigh. "Shude... the Han Dynasty is about to collapse. I moved from the Central Plains to Hebei, how can I not see it? Do you think I can't see it?
Are you really a stupid person?"
Yan Zhong was pleasantly surprised and quickly got up from the ground.
"Moreover, if Liangzhou is going to be in chaos, even if no one in the world knows it, how can a person named Huangfu like me not know it?" Huangfu Song continued to speak slowly. "And this emperor has always been without virtue or conduct.
, after the war, I, Gongsun Wenqi, Zhu Gongwei and others will definitely be suppressed... You all know that even Gongsun Wenqi knows how to ask for directions by throwing stones, how could I not know?"
Yan Zhong was even more surprised, and his breath became thicker.
"But Shude." Huangfu Song suddenly smiled, but slowly took off the hood on his head, revealing his gray hair. "Look at me at this age, I even need incense to sleep peacefully.
Can you really conquer the world?"
Yan Zhong was suddenly startled and stopped talking.
"Don't say that Emperor Gaozu raised an army at the age of forty-eight and conquered the world in seven years. Ask yourself, do I have the might and virtue of Emperor Gaozu? Do you have the skills of Xiao He, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang? Now is the situation in the world at the end of the Qin Dynasty?" Huangfu Song asked with a smile.
He said, "Don't deceive yourself and others, okay? The world is going to be in chaos, and the Han Dynasty is going to collapse, but I, an old man, cannot be the one destined by fate. Unless you can ask for the elixir, let me and Gongsun Wenqi, Cao Mengde, Sun Wentai
Those people are generally young... otherwise it will never work! Do you still remember their meeting of heroes by the Qishui River? Those people are the ones who will determine the world in the future. That is to say, starting from the banquet that day, I realized that I stopped everything
Ambition.”
Yan Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "Even if Junhou can't do it, with Huangfu's reputation in Liangzhou, we will definitely support Junhou's eldest son..."
"He is even more incompetent." Huangfu Song put his hands on the cases in front of him. "For the survival of the family, the more you support me, the less I can follow you! Shude, the current situation is that I am not aggressive enough, and I insist on starting a rebellion.
, Nine times out of ten, he is going to bring humiliation upon himself, but if he can remain calm and remain a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, his name will be remembered for eternity... I have already thought through this calculation. As for today's matter, I can only think of it as
If you haven’t heard of it, don’t say anything more.”
Yan Zhong was completely speechless and staggered away, but when he came to the tent door, he couldn't help but turned around with grief and anger: "Does the general really want to abandon the people of Liangzhou?!"
Huangfu Song finally said solemnly: "Shu De, are you really qualified to ask this on behalf of the people of Liangzhou? If there is really no loyal minister in Liangzhou, why don't you go to Fu Nanrong and ask him to accompany you in the rebellion? Moreover, you think the matter is about to end, Gongsun
Will Xun really be distracted by your words about separatist Youyan?! The affairs of the world are not decided by you self-righteous talkers!"
Yan Zhong was so ashamed and angry that he immediately ran away.
Moving to the camp, the Han army worked hard to set up camp, and it was barely formed until evening. Then Cao Cao, Xu Rong, Zou Jing, Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu, Fu Xie and others came over to greet and complain, etc...
Gongsun Xun naturally wanted to hold a banquet to entertain him.
However, after three rounds of drinking, Gongsun Zan was the first to become depressed and extremely sour towards Gongsun Yue, who was destined to marry him for the official position. Then Guan Yu and Lu Bu had a conflict and almost didn't fight. Finally, they were calmed down, and finally
But it was Cao Cao who got drunk and cried profusely after drinking, complaining that he had no face to sacrifice to Duke Qiao... which made Gongsun Xun also sigh with emotion.
To put it bluntly, how could he not be a little grateful to Qiao Xuan and have a complicated mood?
However, after all, Gongsun Xun could not compare with Cao Cao, so much so that he got drunk in the army because of this, and the facts proved that his caution was correct... When the third watch in the morning was approaching the fourth watch, suddenly,
The whole camp of the Han army was shaken, and then Huangfu Song hurriedly sent people to report that there was something unusual in Guangzong City!
Gongsun Xun didn't even need to look, he had already woken up. This must be the afternoon when Huangfu Song ordered the withdrawal of the three surrounding walls, and Zhang Liang in the city couldn't wait to take the opportunity to escape.
I have to admit that Zhang Liang's reaction was very reasonable and correct, and even excellent.
After the death of his brother, more than half of the army was lost, morale was low, and the city defenses collapsed. It was a certain death situation. At this time, Huangfu Song had already given way to three sides of the siege, but the reinforcements, including a large number of cavalry, came from afar and were unable to gain a stable foothold. They were extremely exhausted.
, is simply the only chance to escape!
To be fair, if we really let this guy cross the Zhang River and enter Julu Ze, maybe there will be a saying in later generations that "Huang Tian's return is unknown"!
However, now that things have happened, how can Gongsun Xun or Huangfu Song get his wish?
"Greetings to General Wu Guanzhonglang!"
Huangfu Song, the general of hundreds of battles, this time, there is no need for Gongsun Xun to ask for any Qiang people, because whether it is Li Jue with the Xiliang cavalry and Qiang cavalry, or Gongsun Zan and Fu Xie who were guests here last night
, at this time, they all followed Huangfu Song's instructions and came directly to Gongsun Xun following the messenger... They were all generals commanding the cavalry troops from Huangfu Song's side.
"The military situation is like a fire, no need to say more!" In the messy camp, Gongsun Xun, who was under the torch, did not bother to be polite and directly drew his sword and ordered. "The infantry in the camp was given unified command by Cheng Demou to follow Huangfu Gong to break the city. All the cavalry generals
Immediately lead your headquarters to follow me to chase Zhang Liang... Tell all the sergeants that this is the last battle of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I don't want the head or capture, as long as Zhang Liang's tribe is destroyed! Anyone who messes up will be killed without mercy!"
All the generals obeyed the order with dignity.
————I am the dividing line that finally took the pill————
"Gongsun Zan tried to welcome Taizu on official business, and Yue stood beside him, serving as a guard for the army. Zan thought that his superior rank equaled his own, so he behaved unfailingly. The more he felt evil, he moved to him in the middle of the table, held his arm and consoled him, saying: '
How can brothers get along with each other based on official rank? Zan moved his hand and said, "It's cold in September. It's as cold as a ghost's hand. I'm trying to grab someone's arm!" When Taizu heard about it from the chief, he secretly unlocked the purple ribbon and gold seal. Zan was greatly ashamed.
