Speaking of which, people in Liangzhou can breathe a sigh of relief these years.
You must know that Liangzhou Sanming, who was so powerful in the northwest, has now passed away one after another, and some of the generals they left for the imperial court have died in this northwest, unable to regain their former glory.
But...men such as Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song who came from the northwest are still persisting, and they have already achieved some results.
Comparing the two, this sentence sounds more reasonable.
The imperial court didn't seem to be very happy to hear this at first, as if Liangzhou was already independent from the imperial court.
But now many generals in Liangzhou are not without abilities, but no matter how hard they try, they can't change the situation in the northwest.
So now the war is beyond their control.
The imperial court was a little flustered here. Even the imperial court was a little unhappy for the sake of the imperial mausoleum of the Han Dynasty and the face of the Han Dynasty.
However, Huangfu Gui's nephew Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, who was also born in Liangzhou, were immediately activated.
As for Gongsun Zhu, it was all recommended by Lu Zhi. He is at best a Rao leader...
And the two of them did not disappoint anyone. After the army arrived, Beigong Boyu was finally compressed so that there was no more space for him to continue to roam.
They had to gather the thieves and soldiers from many tribes again, and then came directly in front of the imperial army, as if they wanted to prove themselves.
Facing these Qiang and Hu men who were charging towards them, Dong Zhuo was no longer polite and vented all the grievances he had suffered in Jizhou on them.
His general Xu Rong took the lead in attacking, fighting with the Qiang and Hu, and won a small victory!
Then Huangfu Song also realized that the opportunity had come. Seeing Xu Rong take action to almost smash the Qiang and Hu's "military formation" to pieces, he directly let the army behind him pounce on it.
Huangfusong did not use any psychological tricks this time, nor did he use any other tactics.
It's not that after arriving in this northwest land, he didn't have so many strategies in his heart, but he knew that if he wanted to repel the Liangzhou Qiang and Hu, the first thing to be defeated would be their morale.
But defeating their morale cannot be achieved by relying on some calculation. To achieve this step, it can only rely on the appearance of a miracle, or...real hard power!
Defeating them head-on is the easiest way!
Destroy their morale first, and then you can say they are beaten back. This is Liangzhou's way of fighting.
Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo forgot all the previous unpleasantness at this time, and simultaneously attacked the camp of the Qiang and Hu troops under Beigong Boyu's command from the south and the north.
"Gongsun Zhu, bring your soldiers to me and kill Beigong Boyu. I will personally ask your majesty to take credit for you!"
"Xu Rong, rush over!"
"Where is Li Jue and Guo Si? Charge and kill!"
"Hua Xiong, follow me and charge..."
"Yun Chang, Yide, come on!"
After roaring one after another, the army rushed directly in front of the Qiang Hu, and Beigong Boyu's eyes widened, knowing that this battle was not that easy.
But he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating. With a roar, he led the Qiang and Hu troops behind him and charged forward.
The Han army is elite, but we, the Qiang and Hu, will not be inferior to others!
It was such a sudden fight that lasted from 10 noon until the evening!
After this battle, when the Han army reorganized their troops, they found that their losses were quite heavy.
Many of Dong Zhuo's generals were defeated. Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and Niu Fu were all in a state of embarrassment, with painful expressions on their faces!
It was also not easy for Gongsun Zhu and others. Not to mention the generals, the number of casualties among his subordinates alone exceeded 30%.
If Huangfu Song hadn't been supervising the battle, it would have collapsed long ago.
However, the Han army suffered heavy losses, and the Qiang and Hu also received little benefit.
After this battle, the Qiang and Hu troops led by Beigong Boyu finally retreated!
After the fight, their casualties were no weaker than those of the Han army. The tragic momentum made Beigong Boyu feel chilled.
Beigong Boyu's retreat meant that Huangfusong finally completed the most important thing.
After that, Huangfusong worked step by step, constantly compressing the range of activities of the Qiang and Hu in Youfufeng, and driving them out bit by bit.
Dong Zhuo directly contacted Bao Hong, the captain of Youfufeng, and the two parties worked together to continuously clean up Youfufeng.
This all seems to be heading in a good direction.
However, the battlefield in the northwest began to improve, but some people felt a little unhappy in their hearts.
Veteran generals or ministers in the court such as Lu Zhi were in a good mood at this time, and they had a very good relationship with Huangfu Song.
At this time, they were naturally happy to see Huangfu Song making great progress and turning the situation around with one move.
But there were some other people who couldn't help but look sad after seeing the news.
"Huangfu Song seems to be winning. What does Zhao Zhongchang think of this?" At this time, in a secret room in Luoyang, in front of Zhongchang's servant Zhao Zhong stood an old man with some vicissitudes of life, with a smile on his face and ten people in front of him. One of the regular attendants.
These words made Zhao Zhong's face instantly turn ugly.
"Whatever you want to say, you might as well say it directly. Don't you want to mock Zhao by saying this?"
"Zhao Zhongchang was joking. I just heard that His Majesty intended to invite Zhao Zhongchang to take up the post of Great Changqiu, but it was delayed due to some things. I felt a little unworthy of Zhao Zhongchang."
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and Zhao Zhong immediately jumped up and yelled, "Old thief, what do you want!"
"I just feel that if General Zuo Chaqi and Jizhou Mu returns from this great victory, how should your Majesty reward him!
General Huangfu's contribution... is already great enough.
If he continues on, he will no longer be an extremely human minister.
He is still so young, and I, a big man, will inevitably have wars in the future, so I cannot let Huangfu Song take action every time.
If Your Majesty is in such a difficult position and others know about it, wouldn't it mean that I, a big man, have no one else except Huangfu Song? "
As soon as he said these words, Zhao Zhong's brows immediately furrowed even more seriously, but soon his expression turned into a sneer.
"You old man, you really don't have good things in mind!"
"Zhao Zhongchang, if you say that, it will make me ashamed.
You must know that I was able to achieve this position thanks to Cao Dachangqiu's recommendation. I have never forgotten this kindness. "
After the old man chuckled, he retreated directly, and Zhao Zhong couldn't help laughing after the old man left.
On the same day, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang went to the palace overnight to see his majesty.
The purpose of their entry into the palace was also very simple, which was to create a stumbling block for Huangfu Song.
These two people themselves had a bad relationship with Huangfu Song. They had a lot of grudges in the court before, and Huangfu Song also talked about the issue of eunuchs disrupting government.
In addition, in Jizhou before, Huangfu Song also ransacked the homes of Zhao Zhong and others, causing Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang to suffer heavy losses.
So at this time, Huangfusong's victory was in sight, and everyone else might feel happy, but Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong would not.
Their overnight visit to the palace also surprised the current His Majesty Liu Hong. However, when Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong revealed the purpose of their visit, Liu Hong was moved.
He had done so much to pacify the Yellow Turbans before. Lu Zhi asked him to find a reason to balance the merits and demerits. Zhu Jun could not reach that status, but Huangfu Song's position...
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong made it very clear. Not to mention the late Huangfu Gui from the Huangfu family, let’s just say that this time, he first lifted the ban on the party. His reputation was already huge, and he almost single-handedly put an end to Zhang Jiao’s disaster. , that is already considered half a supreme minister.
The next level up is Taiwei, but Huangfu Song's current age...
Liu Hong kept thinking in his heart. He was not a wise king, but he was not a fool either. As an emperor with unorthodox succession, he had experienced the September Changes and the internal and external turmoil during the Xiping period. He was very aware of the virtues of these scholars and ministers. .
Otherwise, he would not have used eunuchs so highly and supported party officials.
Huangfu Song's status is too high.
"Your Majesty, Huangfu Song has failed to win the battle at this time. If we take action, we need to do it as soon as possible!"
Zhang Rang's words contained no concealment, and in this Han Dynasty, he was the only one who dared to say these things so straightforwardly to Liu Hong.
"But now Liangzhou is corrupt. If there is no Huangfu Song, who can lead the troops to quell the chaos?"
"Your Majesty, must you have forgotten that the only one we want to capture is Huangfu Song? Many other generals and commanders are in Liangzhou."
"But if there is no one to lead the army, I'm afraid the army will easily get into chaos."
"Did your Majesty forget that there was an outstanding general in the Battle of Liangzhou who was a rare good general?"
"He is just the governor of Hanyang at this time, how can he take on such an important responsibility?"
"Of course Gai Xun can't, but the person who recommended him can."
"Well...if my father hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that Gai Xun was recommended by Sikong as Jing Zhaoyin. That's very good."
In the morning of the next morning, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was furious and rebuked Huangfu Song for his unfavorable attack and failure to win. He also caused heavy losses to the army and wasted countless grain grabs. His crime deserved death, and he was taken to Luoyang to await punishment!
At the same time, all the officials in the court were surprised and thinking about how to change the situation, when Liu Hong's will appeared again.
But this time, Liu Hong also successfully blocked the mouths of everyone in the court.
"I made Sikong Zhang Wen a general of chariots and cavalry, and during the holidays, I made Yuan Pang, the commander-in-chief, a deputy general..."
At this moment, an old minister with an old face walked out slowly. While thanking Liu Hong, he also secretly looked at Zhao Zhong who was beside Liu Hong and silently looked at each other...
