Before Lu Zhi left, Qian Zhao, Liu Yong and Liu Sheng were called by Liu Bei to Liangzhou to help him fight in the war. When Lu Zhi left again, Jizhou's Dinghai Shenzhen was gone.
The situation in Changshan State, Zhao County and Zhongshan State began to deteriorate. The ministers and prefects of the three counties were unable to curb the plundering of Zhang Yan's troops, and were repeatedly harassed by Zhang Yan, resulting in serious losses.
The situation in Bingzhou was even worse, and the forces led by Zhang Yan also had a great influence on Bingzhou and the Sanhe area.
Zhang Yan's main force is in the mountainous area to the north of Changshan State. The other areas are full of vitality and all things are competing. Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Digen, Qing Niujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Zhuzhangba , Pinghan, etc., many forces were influenced by Zhang Yan.
Moreover, Hedong County and Hanoi County in the northern barrier of Luoyang were also invaded by Zhang Yan's forces, and the Sanhe area was also affected.
Zhang Yan alone changed the situation of half the world after the Taiping Dao uprising was put down, which made the Luoyang court feel uneasy. Liu Hong even regretted not listening to Lu Zhi's idea before and letting Lu Zhi lead troops to annihilate Zhang Yan. .
But at the moment, it is impossible for Liu Hong to admit his mistake and let Lu Zhi lead troops again.
Therefore, Huang Wan suggested that everyone work together to push Huangfu Song out, and strive to give Huangfu Song the status of Bingzhou Mu, so that he could calmly lead troops to destroy the enemy invaders in Bingzhou, increase his strength, and make contributions by the way.
With such a longing in mind, officials under the Jinwen School began to take action.
Just in those few days, news came from Hedong County and Hanoi County that bandits were invading. Han Chun, the governor of Hedong County, and Ding Cong, the governor of Hanoi County, were unable to resist, and some county towns were plundered.
So they all came to the table, thinking that this group of bandits actually dared to invade the land of Three Rivers and threaten the core area ruled by the Han Dynasty. They were extremely arrogant. They were obviously no longer ordinary bandits, and they had to fight hard!
They recommended Huangfu Song, who had been idle since returning to Luoyang, to serve as general of chariots and cavalry and Bingzhou shepherd to eliminate bandits, eliminate hidden dangers, and defend Luoyang.
The ancient literature school reacted strongly to this proposal of the modern literature school.
Situ Yuan Wei immediately gathered a group of people to go to the court, believing that Huangfu Song was mediocre in ability and could not be regarded as an excellent general. He could not quell the chaos in Bingzhou. A more powerful general should be appointed to attack and serve as the shepherd of Bingzhou.
For example, the current Zuo Fengyi and Dong Zhuo.
After the previous war, Yuan Wei originally wanted to push Dong Zhuo to serve as governor of Bingzhou or seek the position of pastor of Bingzhou. However, the Jinwen school hindered him at that time and listed some of Dong Zhuo's unethical behaviors, which was tantamount to giving Dong Zhuo a bad name. As a result, Dong Zhuo failed to go to Bingzhou.
Yuan Wei was very angry at that time, and he was even more angry this time. He planned to settle old and new grudges together and never let the Modern Literature School succeed.
Focusing on the selection of people to go to Bingzhou to deal with the bandits, the modern literature school and the ancient literature school launched a new round of struggle. In this round of struggle, the eunuch group did not participate.
It's not that Zhang Rang didn't want to get involved, Zhang Rang also wanted He Jin to lead the expedition, but He Jin learned about the scale and strength of the Bingzhou bandits, considered his abilities, and declined politely.
It's okay to bully the ordinary people in the Central Plains, but the Bingzhou bandits are a bit too tough for us to deal with.
Zhang Rang was very dissatisfied with He Jin, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he had to give up. So the matter became a confrontation between Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo.
Later, Liu Hong believed that the Ancient Literature School had Liu Bei as a Liangzhou pastor in name, but the Modern Literature School did not even have a military spokesperson, which was not conducive to the Modern Literature School maintaining the current situation, so he decided not to use Dong Zhuo but Huangfu Song.
In April of the fourth year of Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong appointed Huangfu Song as his general, led the governor of Bingzhou, and led his troops to quell the bandits raging everywhere in Bingzhou and stabilize the situation in Bingzhou.
Both modern and ancient writers are dissatisfied with this result.
The Ancient Literature School wanted to promote Dong Zhuo, but failed and was naturally dissatisfied.
The Jinwen School wanted Huangfu Song to serve as Bingzhou Mu and gain more absolute power so that he could easily compete with Liu Bei, but it didn't work.
Liu Hong seems to have no intention of establishing another state pastor in a short time. The reason why Liu Bei can become Liangzhou pastor may be inseparable from his Han clan status.
There is nothing the Jinwen school can do about this. To be able to achieve this, they have tried their best.
Huangfusong was not satisfied with the result, but he was not disappointed either. At least, he had something to do and would not continue to be idle in Luoyang.
For him, the previous period of idleness was not a pleasant one. He received full support from the Modern Literature School but failed to achieve corresponding results. This caused many voices within the Modern Literature School to abandon Huangfu Song. Then For a period of time, Huangfusong's life was very difficult.
However, Yang Ci, who was seriously ill, gave the final word later, saying that he believed Huangfu Song was a talented person who could definitely stand out. Everyone needed to give him time and give him confidence. He was a famous general.
This was tantamount to Yang Ci's last words. After Yang Ci's death, Yang Biao inherited this view and continued to maintain contact with Huangfu Song, and finally did not terminate his cooperation with Huangfu Song.
Huangfusong cherished this hard-won opportunity extremely. After receiving the appointment, he immediately began preparations, analyzing the current situation, collecting intelligence, etc., and had a clear understanding of the situation he was about to face.
He is now basically certain that the "banditry" in Bingzhou is a big trap.
There are at least three to four hundred thousand bandits hiding in the huge and endless mountains. Even if they are not under unified command, it is very difficult to eliminate them one-on-one.
Not to mention that the opponent had the home field advantage of being familiar with the terrain, but he did not. When the army entered the mountainous area, it looked majestic, but as soon as the bandits burrowed into the deep mountains and old forests, the army's eyesight turned black.
how to spell?
How can I fight if I can't find anyone?
This battle is not easy to fight, very difficult to fight, and there is a high possibility that it will overturn. But no matter how big the pit is, he has to jump into it. He has no choice.
If he missed this opportunity, he would be doomed.
With a sense of worry and helplessness, Huangfusong jumped up and gave up treatment.
So when Liu Hong summoned Huangfu Song to discuss military aircraft, Huangfu Song put forward many opinions, including but not limited to the number of troops should not be less than 50,000, and there should also be a considerable number of cavalry.
Liu Hong was very unhappy about this, which involved the use of large numbers of troops and a lot of money.
He once again thought of Liu Bei, who never forgot to make money for him in Liangzhou, and suddenly felt that the Huangfu Song in front of him became more and more unpleasant and disgusting.
One or two people only think about their own achievements and achievements, and don't think about how much money they have to spend. When they make achievements, as the emperor, Liu Hong will give them more rewards!
They were responsible for everything, and they were responsible for the banditry. Now they are spending my money, taking credit for their work, and then I will give them a reward. Is there any truth in the world?
Liu Hong was very angry.
But there is no way. Those damn bandits have already reached Hedong County and Hanoi County. If they are not contained, Luoyang will probably be in danger. By then, the position under his butt may also be unstable.
Shangshutai did a little calculation of military expenses and let Liu Hong know how much he expected to spend on this battle. When he saw that number, Liu Hong felt his heart twitching in pain.
Can this battle be fought?
In the end, Zhao Zhong thought of a solution that was not a solution.
He proposed that there was another force in Bingzhou that could be used by the court, and that was the Southern Xiongnu who moved the royal court south to Zishi County, Taiyuan County.
