Huangfu Song never wanted to kill Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo often opposed him, Dong Zhongying was no longer an enemy of the court, but a "cavalry general" of the court. In the eyes of outsiders, Huangfu Song's behavior was too dogmatic.
and pedantic, but this has always been his way of life.
So after Dong Zhuo left the gold and silver women and war horses, Huangfu Song let him go so happily.
After driving Dong Zhuo's army back to Bingzhou, Huangfu Song immediately dispatched troops and horses to cooperate with the county soldiers of the third auxiliary to strangle the Huns cavalry that were wandering around. After more than ten days of fighting, the Huns lost more than 5,000 cavalry.
His vitality was severely damaged, but he followed Dong Zhuo's footsteps and escaped across the Yellow River with the help of his horse's speed.
Although the Huns were driven away, in more than ten days, dozens or hundreds of villages had been reduced to ashes, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured, and tens of thousands of people were robbed of livestock. In addition, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured.
, and Ding Yuan's defeated troops were wreaking havoc in various places in Guanzhong. In order to exterminate those defeated troops, a lot of money, food and time were spent.
Huangfu Song destroyed Ding Yuan within two days, and then defeated Dong Zhuo. The speed of his actions and the victory of his troops shocked the world again. For a while, the princes of Guandong sent envoys to Chang'an one after another, hoping to bring Huangfu to Chang'an.
Song won over to their side.
He Jin was also shocked when he learned that Huangfu Song had conquered Guanzhong so quickly. The area around Luoyang was now in dilapidated condition. Although it still had a military advantage over Guanzhong, other than that, they were all weaker than Guanzhong. People in the world are now uncertain.
, rebels emerged one after another, and Huangfu Song monopolized the imperial foundation in Guanzhong. He Jin was not only shocked, but also felt fear.
In July, after the summer harvest, He Jin ordered Huangfu Song to be recruited into the court in the name of the emperor. After receiving the imperial edict, Gai Xun, who was even more seriously ill, tried his best to persuade Huangfu Song not to go to Luoyang, but Huangfu Song
Having made up his mind, after deploying the defenses of the three auxiliaries and properly arranging the elite soldiers and generals under his command, he took his family and 10,000 elite generals to Luoyang. Then, the 10,000 soldiers were completely captured by He Jin
Swallowed it.
Such a move surprised many people. In the eyes of those ambitious people, now that Huangfu Song monopolized Guanzhong and had so many elite soldiers and generals under his command, it was natural that he should blockade Tongguan and become the overlord. No.
A few people sighed sadly, secretly thinking that if they had such a good opportunity, they could do whatever they wanted.
Huangfu Song was so obedient, He Jin was very satisfied and named him Taiwei. However, now that the court was short of food and salary, he could only give official positions but no rewards. After depriving Huangfu Song of his military power, General He Jin
After planning for a long time, I prepared to send a confidant to Guanzhong. The person sent must not only have sufficient ability, but more importantly, be loyal enough, otherwise, I am afraid that the land of Guanzhong will no longer be owned by the country.
Just as he was thinking about it over and over, while the generals under the general's command were secretly competing with each other, Gai Xun, who had been lying on the bed for a long time, suddenly passed away under the leadership of Jing Zhaoyin. For a time, hundreds of thousands of households in the thousands of miles of fertile wilderness in Guanzhong.
The common people and the army of more than 100,000 people have no one who can take charge.
Among the original three giants in Guanzhong, Ding Yuan died due to rebellion, Huangfu Song was recruited into the court, and now Gai Xun is also dead. A huge power vacuum suddenly appeared in the entire Guanzhong. Other surrounding forces have not yet received the news.
At that time, Lu Bu was the first to know about Gai Xun's death because he was left in Chang'an.
When Huangfu Song was here, Lu Bu did not dare to do anything rashly. Although he was extremely brave, he knew very well that Huangfu Song's military skills were better than his own. After Huangfu Song left, Gai Xun was still a piece of his head.
Wu Yun Gai Xun was a strong man and treated Lü Bu without hypocrisy, but he was fair and honest and was deeply supported by the army and the people, so Lü Bu could only endure it.
But now that Huangfu Song is gone and Gai Xun is dead, who else in this level can suppress him, Lu Fengxian?
When Ding Yuan was still alive, he once said that Guanzhong, with its fertile wilderness thousands of miles away, could become its own country by sealing off the four fortresses. Now that such a God-given opportunity is in front of us, who can resist it? Ambition that has been suppressed for a long time
The fire instantly burned in Lu Bu's chest.
Lu Bu almost didn't think about it, and immediately contacted his old troops in Chang'an City, then led his troops to break into Jing Zhaoyin's office, seized the seal of customs defense, and then closed the city gate, cutting off news inside and outside the city. Then he sent Zhang Liao
Gao Shun and others took over the troops and horses of Chang'an, occupied arsenals, granaries, barracks and other places, and recruited the elite soldiers and generals of Guanzhong without any bloodshed.
Huangfu Song's headquarters troops had been mobilized by He Jin for a long time. Recently, another 10,000 people were mobilized to the battlefield in the Central Plains. Those who stayed in Chang'an were all recent recruits. These people were not commanded by superiors and were confused.
, was annexed by Lu Bu. Some resistance was suppressed without even a splash.
Lu Bu had been in Guanzhong for two or three years and was very clear about the attitude of the people in Guanzhong towards the imperial court. After annexing Chang'an's 40,000 to 50,000 troops, he proclaimed himself the General of the Conquest of the West, appointed Zhang Liao as the former general, and led his troops to defend Tongguan.
At the same time, he also summoned civil and military officials from inside and outside Chang'an and said in public: "He Jin went against the grain and conscripted troops and grain continuously. The people in Guanzhong have been suffering for a long time! Today I led my troops to blockade Tongguan, and I will no longer give money, grain, soldiers and horses to Luoyang.
What do you think?"
The officials present looked at each other and expressed neither approval nor objection. The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
Lu Bu became anxious and shouted: "Whether you agree or disagree, please tell me!"
Someone in the corner muttered, "If you don't speak, you agree!"
Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard the words. He turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from, but he only saw the tops of their heads. The local officials and powerful men were so blood-drawn by He Jin that they were almost chewing tree bark and grass roots. They had long been heartbroken.
Resentment, now that someone has jumped out, the big guy just went along with the flow and expressed his agreement silently.
Anyway, if we are beaten back by the imperial court in the future, we can all say that we were forced by the traitor Lu Bu. Although we did not die for the country, nor did we reprimand him face to face, we did not rebel, right? If you don’t believe it, you can check it out. There were many at that time.
Everyone present, none of us agreed!
In such a strange and strange atmosphere, the authority of the imperial court was thrown aside, and most of the power in Guanzhong fell into Lu Bu's hands. The reason why I say most of it is because now Lu Bu can only control Chang'an and surrounding areas.
Apart from this small area, he has no control over other areas.
After learning about the changes in Chang'an, the local officials and powerful officials quickly seized local power and began to wait and see. All the circumstances were similar to the fact that the imperial court lost the power to control the world after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. As a result,
It was the same when people all over the country jumped out one after another.
It's just that this time it happened in Guanzhong, and the scale was much smaller.
Hearing that a sudden change had occurred in Guanzhong, He Jin killed several concubines and servants in anger, and then immediately sent people to arrest Huangfu Song. Even the court officials and military generals interceded, but He Jin could not be persuaded.
Seeing that the murderous intention was suppressed, someone still suggested that Huangfu Song lead troops to attack Lu Bu, and this way Huangfu Song's life was saved.
But just after Huangfu Song was appointed as the Hussars General, someone else came to He Jin and said, "Huang Fuyi has been in Guanzhong for a long time, and the soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's command are all his old troops. If he is ordered to lead the army, what will happen?"
Will he be ushered into Chang'an by the Guanzhong rebels?"
He Jin was horrified and dismissed Huangfu Song from his official position again, and placed him and his family under house arrest in Luoyang City.
Huangfu Song did not dare to use it, but the matter still had to be dealt with. Now that Guanzhong had just rebelled, the morale of the army and the people had not yet stabilized. If we send troops early, we might be able to regain Guanzhong, but if it is delayed for a long time, the rebels will have a firm foothold in Guanzhong.
Heel, that would be a disaster for the imperial court.
Nowadays, the Luoyang court is increasingly unable to make ends meet, and is relying on the money and food in Guanzhong. Once Guanzhong is lost, the princes and ministers in Luoyang City will starve. As for the soldiers and horses on the front line of the Central Plains, there is almost no military discipline left.
After all, they all became like bandits.
So the imperial court appointed Zhu Jun as the chief general, and led a patchwork of 60,000 soldiers and horses to conquer Lu Bu. Zhu Jun was named Gongwei, and like Huangfu Song, he both made great contributions in suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and also had both hands full.
Although Zhu Jun is less famous than Huangfu Song, he is also a world-famous general.
He Jin took him as a general and handed over the last troops and horses in Luoyang City to Zhu Jun. He had high hopes for him. Unfortunately, although Zhu Jun was a strong man and a talented general, he was just a general.
Mortals cannot conjure food out of thin air to feed their 60,000-strong army.
Before the soldiers and horses arrived at Tongguan, the soldiers were already complaining because of the lack of food. Zhu Jun tried his best to suppress it, but it had almost no effect. When they were approaching Tongguan, the army was sleeping in the wilderness for the night, and suddenly crying people were heard in the camp.
sound.
Zhu Jun was patrolling the camp with his sword in hand and his own soldiers. He was shocked when he heard the cry and shouted: "Who disturbed the morale of our army? Kill him immediately to retaliate!"
As a result, the soldiers had not yet taken action, and the military camp was like a pot exploding. The soldiers shouted and shouted wildly. Countless people made unexplained noises like wild beasts, and thousands of people held weapons and attacked the people around them.
The attack started. For a time, there were endless shouts of killing and screams, and the chaos spread to all nearby camps.
Flames rose in various military camps, and flames and blood became the mainstream in the darkness. The frenzy lasted all night. Zhu Jun escaped to a high ground under the protection of his own soldiers, and was not killed by the rebels. Wait
By daybreak, the 60,000-strong army was gone.
The sun rose and under the sunlight, Zhu Jun stared blankly at the ruins of the camp. His whole figure seemed to have aged by more than ten years.
When the soldiers saw that there was no danger around them, they ordered the general flags to be raised and prepared to collect the defeated troops. Some soldiers were rummaging through the camp for food and other available things. After seeing Zhu Jun's general flags, these
Instead of coming closer, the soldiers seemed to be frightened and fled in a hurry.
"Forget it," Zhu Jun said tiredly to the soldiers: "Now that people's hearts have dispersed, don't do those futile things."
He stood up from his horse, touched the red battle flag beside him, and said sadly: "I have been begging for thieves for the country, and I have been through life and death many times. I never thought that such a day would come. The imperial court handed over 60,000 troops to the country. In my hands, the thieves were already separated before I could see them. After destroying so many soldiers and horses, how can I return to the court with any appearance?"
After saying this, he cut himself to death with a horizontal sword.
