Chapter 193 Dong Zhuo’s resurgence With the candidates for the counter-rebellion determined, the imperial court appointed Huangfu Song as Zhonglang General and Dong Zhuo as his deputy to defend Chang'an.
From April to July, four whole months.
Huangfu Song was unable to conquer it in the early stage, but Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others became prosperous and caused turmoil in the world.
When Liu Han saw that the time had come, he sent a message to Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang naturally didn't dare to neglect him. Last time he just touched the tiger's beard a little, and most of his family property was gone. If he disobeys this time, he might even have to sell himself.
In July, the Zhongchang Shi headed by Zhang Rang came forward and said that Huangfu Song was passive and lazy in fighting and was obviously colluding with the Qiang people. King Hejian was right. He was a member of the Huangfu family, and the blood of the Qiang people flowed in his bones.
Emperor Ling also felt that it made sense. His younger brother was very accurate in judging people. There was obviously something wrong with Huangfu Song! So, as expected, Huangfu Song was spanked to the end again.
Someone in the imperial court wanted to persuade the emperor to withdraw his order and give Huangfu Song some more time.
However, the admonishment officials Liu Tao and Situ Chen Dan were hated by the eunuchs and falsely accused them of communicating with foreign thieves. Liu Tao knew that he would inevitably die. After he committed suicide in prison, there was no way for him to admonish.
No one interceded for Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song, who was far away in Chang'an, received the imperial edict. He was over fifty years old and had been fighting for many years, and he actually shed two lines of tears.
He knew that this was Liu Han's conspiracy, and that the Huangfu family was now ruined, but he had no choice, because he was given the opportunity, but he was useless!
The despairing Huangfu Song didn't say much after receiving the order to express his gratitude. He faced the east and bowed three times, then pulled out his sword and committed suicide.
He knew that by proposing to lift the shackles of the party, he was forcing the emperor to make concessions, and was slapping the imperial power in the face. This was not his original intention, but it was no longer important.
He did not expect that the emperor would not retaliate, but King Hejian's revenge would be so violent. The Huangfu family would be infamy for generations to come as long as the Han Dynasty still exists.
In order to appease the anger of the King of Hejian and for the sake of the descendants of the Huangfu clan, Huangfu Song resolutely chose to die.
This is an explanation to the emperor, an explanation to the king of Hejian, and an explanation to the people of the world.
When the news came back to Luoyang, Liu Hong was deeply moved. He named Huangfu Song the Marquis of Huaili and ordered him to be buried with a lavish funeral.
No matter what dynasty a king is in, he is always the most generous to the dead, because he cannot see that this is for the living.
Unlike Liu Hong, Zhang Rang was more afraid of Liu Han in his heart, "That man's methods are even more terrifying!"
I used to be afraid of Liu Han because I was afraid that this man would come to kill people with a knife.
I'm afraid of him now, because he knows how to take advantage of the situation and kill without blood.
Of course, the nobles did not hate Liu Han, because it was Liu Han who gave Huangfu Song the opportunity. It was not Liu Han's fault that Huangfu Song failed to seize it, so they blamed the eunuchs for Huangfu Song's death. The nobles and the eunuchs were even more incompatible, and the eunuchs wanted to To save his life, he worked harder to please the emperor, and of course the King of Hejian.
# Youzhou, Zhuo County.
When Liu Han got the news, he was also surprised, "Huangfu Song committed suicide?"
Cheng Yu thought for a while and figured it out, and said: "My lord, he is giving an explanation to the world with his death."
"Explain? Isolated talents are not rare."
Cheng Yu smiled and did not continue.
Guo Jia said: "Lord, do we not care about Liangzhou's affairs?"
"Liangzhou will have to be cleaned up sooner or later. Now is not the time."
"Then us?"
"How's it going with Zhang Ning?"
That's right, to defeat the Yellow Turban in Jizhou, Liu Han naturally sent Zhang Ning, and no one was more suitable than the Yellow Turban Saint.
Of course, Zhang Ning alone was not enough. Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao led [-] Yellow Turban soldiers as personal guards, followed by Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and [-] troops in case of unexpected Jia: "The news came from Wenyuan yesterday. Zhang Yan was very cooperative, but some people under him were not very obedient. Wenyuan is dealing with it."
After the Yellow Turban, there were Heishan, Huanglong, Baibo, Zuoxiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Digen, Qingniujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Zhuzhangba, Pinghan, Daji, Sili, Juzai, Lei Gong and Fuyun. , Feiyan, Baique, Yangfeng, Yudu, Wulu, Li Damu, Bairao, Suigu, Kuzu, and Luoshi disciples, and they rise from the valley, countless.
The big one is [-] to [-], and the small one is [-].The leader of the bandits, Zhang Yan, a native of Changshan, was in close contact with the bandits in the valleys of Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, and Hanoi. He numbered in the millions and was nicknamed the "Black Mountain Bandit."
If we assume 25 people and 25 shares, and the number of people per share ranges from to , the total number of Montenegrin troops is between and . "To one million" is probably an imaginary number and is meant to scare people.
Liu Han estimated that this group of Black Mountain bandits, including their families, numbered almost 50.
Therefore, for the Yellow Turbans here, Liu Han wanted to move them to Youzhou. After all, there was a lot of cultivated land in the six counties of Youzhou and needed people to cultivate it.
"Oh, you want to use these people as bargaining chips to negotiate with me?"
The Montenegrin Army can probably save 10 people by gritting its teeth, but will these 10 people be the opponent of Liu Han's cavalry?Last year when the Yellow Turban was defeated, Liu Han's 3000-strong army suffered less than [-] casualties.
This is his confidence! Now, half a year after the second year of Guanghe, and half a year after resettling the refugees, Liu Han recruited 12 and 16 troops from Bingzhou and Youzhou respectively. Liu Han's original army of 11 has now reached an astonishing [-], of which [-] It's the cavalry.
As for the troops stationed in the fields, there are [-] in Bingzhou and [-] in Youzhou.
Therefore, Liu Han has exceeded 20 people.
However, the soldiers in the field can only provide local security, but they cannot go to the battlefield. They can only be calculated as 16 people. (Currently, under Liu Han, Bingzhou has a population of nearly 350 million (including the Southern Huns), Youzhou has a population of nearly 200 million, and 530 million people are enough to support an army of 20.
The current distribution of troops (based on 16 people) is: [-] in Bingzhou and [-] in Youzhou only has six counties, it needs to carry out reform after all, and reform will involve bloodshed, so having more people is no problem. ) "Just in case, I would like to ask you and your uncle to bring another 2 people to support Wenyuan."
"Here."
Guo Jia took the lead.
# In August, Sikong Zhang Wen was appointed as the general of chariots and cavalry. During the holidays, Jin Wu Yuan Pang was appointed as his deputy.
He worshiped Dong Zhuo, the Polu general, and united with Zhou Shen, the Dangkou general, to rule Wen.
Of course, there is also Sun Wentai. Zhang Wen asked Sun Jian to join the military.
Together with more than [-] infantry and cavalrymen from all counties, they stationed troops in Meiyang and guarded the three auxiliaries.
At that time, almost all the officials sent to the northwest front were scolded, except for one who took office singing.
This person is Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo failed last year when he exterminated the Yellow Turbans, but this time the Qiang rebellion in the northwest caused him to turn over. He initially went to the front line as Huangfu Song's deputy.
As a result, Huangfu Song was inexplicably dismissed from his post, and then committed suicide. Dong Zhuo not only continued to lead the army because of the upcoming incident, but was also promoted to General Polu.
"I, Mr. Dong, have finally come to an end after all the hardships!"
Dong Zhuo is now aggrieved. Could it be my fault that he was defeated in Guangzong? Guangwu Ling dealt with the Huns; the northern captain of Shu County dealt with the Shu Qiang; the Wuji captain of the Western Regions dealt with the Western Regions.
I, Dong Zhuo, have commanded the northwest troops, mainly Qiang and Hu soldiers, for more than ten years during my military life. So what kind of troops did Lu Zhi lead?The soldiers led by Lu Zhi were from the Central Army of the fifth school of the Northern Army, and they had no previous affiliation with me.
What kind of soldiers did I bring?
What kind of army is the Central Army?
Can the Central Army compare with the Northwest Army?
He can't compare!
Not only is it incomparable, it also has a lot of flaws! What's more, Zhang Jiao launched a sneak attack as soon as he took office and was caught off guard. Can you blame me for the defeat? Now, looking at the imperial court, is there anyone with more suitable resume conditions than mine? Duan Jiong:... (cross out)
