The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 132

>

He first saw the captain of the Northern Army who was leading the team, but this captain was old and had a big belly. He had no heroic appearance on a horse, and was completely incomparable to Xun Zhen. Wang Xunzhen is only in her twenties, young, and has been exercising all the year round. She has a well-proportioned body, and the armor and clothes fit her body very well. She also inherited the handsome face of the Xun family. Xue Wuxian, with a heroic spirit, plus Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou and other literati and warriors called forward and supported him, it is no wonder that he was envious. Although Pan Zhang did not know that Fan Kuai, a brave general of the former Han Dynasty, once said: "I wish to gain a hundred thousand people and run rampant among the Xiongnu", he also did not know that a famous general in later generations also said a similar sentence, "I say that I can take a hundred thousand people, Run rampant in the world", but the mighty military posture of nearly 10,000 Han soldiers and Xun Zhen's valiant heroic posture left a deep impression on him.

"Heroes should be like this, heroes should be like this."

Xun Zhen didn't know about Pan Zhang's muttering. Xun Zhen didn't know that among the people who were watching the Han soldiers at this time, there was actually a "Jiang Biao Hu Chen" who had fought Zhang Liao, captured Guan Yu, fought against Liu Bei, and fought against Xia Houshang in the original history. . There is only one thing Xun Zhen thinks about now: after the pacification of Dongjun, how long will it take to go to Jizhou.

Huangfu Song dispatched a total of three troops to cross the river to attack the northern counties of Dongjun County. When Xunzhen performed the sing-along, the other two troops also attacked very quickly. The military newspaper said: Dunqiu and Weiguo counties have Captured by the other two men. These three counties are all in the south of Fagan, plus Yangping, Dongwuyang, and Fagan, and now the only counties in the north of the county are Leping, Liaocheng, and Boping.

There are not many yellow turban guards in the north of Dongjun County, and most of them are old and weak. When Bu Ji died, these guards have no fighting spirit. From the situation in Dongwuyang, Fagan and other counties, it can be seen that the pacification of the whole Dongjun The county refers to the time to wait. If I remember correctly, Huangfu Song will then be ordered to fight in Jizhou and fight with Zhang Jiao brothers. If Brother Zhang Jiao loses, this "Yellow Turban Rebellion" will be even at the beginning. For the Han Empire, the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" was a serious disaster, but for Xun Zhen, the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" was an opportunity. From the time he traveled to this era, he was preparing for the "Yellow Turban Rebellion". , Especially in recent years, the pavilion chief, Youzhi Qiangfu, the postal supervisor in the northern part of the county, and the county soldier Cao Ye, have come step by step, and finally have some troops and horses, not only enough to save lives, but also after the Yellow Turban chaos established a large number of people. Merit, as mentioned above, with the establishment of Merit, he gradually became ambitious, but seeing that Dongjun has been pacified, there will be no major war between Henan and Yanzhou, and only Jizhou is left, but he He was just a military Sima. Although he understood and had no complaints about Huangfu Song's contribution, he was very dissatisfied with his current position.

Xuankang said that he could be worshiped as the prefect of a county because of his merits. He didn't dare to hope for this, but at least he could get a Qianshi other Sima Dangdang when the war ended, right? Zuojun Sima Liubaishi, Liubaishi, ranked under the doctor, is the bottom of the senior officials, with this military position converted to civilian positions, the start is too low. Thousands of stones are almost there. If you can be the Sima of a Qianshi other department, then you can become a civilian, and you can enter the court as a man, and you can go to a local county to be the order of Qianshi. If you can be worshipped as a man, you can gild it in the court, clear the relationship, and you can go out to be the governor of any county. Even if you can't be a man, you can be an order of a thousand stones. , then it is enough to be promoted to the prefect of a county. Only when you become a prefect, can you be on the stage of "the princes asking for Dong" in a few years. The more she knew about the future, the more urgent Xun Zhen felt sometimes.

He rode on his horse with a humble smile on his face, responding to the greetings and onlookers of the hair-dried people. There is a saying in later generations: "The Long March is a planter and a propaganda team." Woolen cloth? Due to the fact that the gentry belong to different geographical groups, the Xun family is not as famous in Yanzhou as in Yuzhou. Since Xun Zhen discovered this problem, he decided to turn this attack on the Yellow Turbans into a good opportunity to promote his reputation. In fact, he must bring out the best of himself, just like when Cheng Li was polite to him in Dong'e, but he was alienated, even so, he was still gentle and modest.

This gentleness is not only for the gentry, but also for the common people.

While smiling modestly, he pondered the future of his own **** field, and said in his heart: "I was originally Cao Ye, a soldier of Baishi County, and I was transferred to the army. It was recommended by General Lai Huangfu, and at that time, the Yellow Turbans were strong, and it was the time for employment. Because I was promoted to Sima of the Six Hundred Stones in one fell swoop, the speed of promotion is quite fast, it can be said to be a super move. Although I'm from the Xun clan, because of the party's restraint, no one of the Xun clan is an official in the court. , so the friendship has also withered. Chaoli now has no backing and backing. Although I have made a lot of contributions in the battle of Runan and Dongjun, it should be difficult to be promoted now. , It's only been a few months, which means that if I want to rise another liter and become a Qianshi other minister, at least I have to wait until Jizhou is pacified and Zhang Jiao defeated. Enough merit, if I don't get promoted to the DPRK, it's unreasonable."

He raised his eyes and looked forward, the Han soldiers were rushing ahead, and the road was long. He thought to himself: "'If you don't accumulate a few steps, you can't go a thousand miles.' A lot of credit, but don't slack off!”

When the business was first established, it was the most difficult. When Cao Cāo, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian were starting the foundation, who was not born and died, and suffered repeated dangers? Cao Cao attacked Dong, and if Cao Hong had not let his horse, he would have died in the chaos of the army. Liu Bei attacked Zhang Chun and met a thief in the wild. Not to mention Sun Jian, he took the risk lightly, he was severely injured outside Xihua City in the first battle of Runan, and almost died in the battle. At the beginning of watching a hero, there are many trials and tribulations. At this time, you need to look at his will and his luck, and only then can he succeed. Compared with these three, Xun Zhen was lucky, at least he had not encountered too much danger since the start of the army.

Leping was not far from Fagan, about ten miles away. After Leping was recaptured, following Huangfu Song's order, Xun Zhen's troops temporarily stopped, and waited for the other two troops to arrive. Next to Boping. It took only eight days to recover Dongjun County and Beizhu County from the time Huangfu Song dispatched three routes to cross the river. Three road people stationed in Boping, waiting for Huangfu Song to arrive.

Huangfu Song received the good news of the pacification of the whole county in Dongjun, and he led his troops to leave Baima on the same day, crossed the North River, and arrived at Boping three days later.

The whole army joins forces.

Before leaving, Huangfu Song had written a good report, recounted the achievements of the generals, and sent Ma Lubu to the capital quickly. When he arrived at Boping, he called the generals and held a banquet for them to celebrate. After the banquet, he left Xun Zhen alone and said with a smile: "Zhenzhi, I heard Xiaowei Liu said that you two have cooperated tacitly along the way, and he is full of praise for you." "Liu Xiaowei" is The Colonel of the Northern Army.

Xun Zhen said humbly, "The captain praised me wrongly. This is Zhen's duty."

Huangfu Song left Xun Zhen alone because he knew that sending three people to cross the river was suspected of Xun Zhen's contribution. Although Xun Zhen had always been humble and respectful, but after all, he was young, and young people were inevitably young and energetic. He was worried that Xun Zhen would meet. If you are dissatisfied with this, don't call it something wrong. He was very optimistic about Xun Zhen, so he didn't want Xun Zhen to make mistakes in the future because of this matter. At this time, seeing that Xun Zhen had a good attitude and what he said didn't seem to be a lie, he was relieved and rubbed his temples with his fingers, smiling. : "Hey, time is not forgiving. I think that when the old man was young, he could drink five stones by himself. Today, I only drank two more bottles at the banquet. At this moment, my head is a little dizzy." Looking at it, it was still early, he motioned Xun Zhen to come forward, supported Xun Zhen with one hand and the desk with the other, stood up and said, "You accompany me out for a walk."

Xun Zhen replied, "Yes." Seeing the tiredness on Huangfu Song's face, she said in her heart, "He didn't drink too much at the banquet just now. It's not so much that his head sinks after drinking, it's not that he is physically and mentally tired." Huangfu Song led tens of thousands of people. It was a lot of pressure to ride on foot, to get out of the yellow turban, especially when the battles in Jizhou and Nanyang were not conducive to the Han soldiers. It can be said that he carried the safety of the entire Han on his shoulders.

Xun Zhen supported Huangfu Song and took two steps. When approaching the entrance of the tent, Huangfu Song withdrew his hand, adjusted his clothes, held down his sword, straightened his waist, and then walked out of the tent. He is the lord of the army, and he can appear exhausted when there are no outsiders, but he must maintain his majesty in front of his soldiers. As soon as he walked out of the tent, the soldiers outside the tent all salute.

Huangfu Song raised his face and looked at the flag of the Chinese generals standing in front of the handsome tent. The blue sky and white clouds were flying the flag. He looked back, smiled and waved at the soldiers who were saluting, and said, "No salute." He said to Xun Zhen, who was behind him, "Let's see." Xun Zhen welcomed Nuo and accompanied him to the Central Army. Watching the tower, the two climbed up. The watchtower is several feet high, and when you step into it, you look down from above, looking left and right, and your vision is suddenly widened. The breeze is gentle, the Boping city wall is towering in the distance, and the fields are green on all sides.

Huangfu Song watched for a long time and said, "This is a great river and mountain."

"Yes."

"Zhenzhi, the Qing family's Yingchuan crown clan, the world's famous family, Qing should know the trend of the world."

"What did the general say?"

Huangfu Song was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "When I was in White Horse, a guest came to the capital."

"guest?"

"It's Chang Shi's doorman."

Zhang Changshi, that is, Zhang Rang. Xun Zhen's heart sank, and she said, "Zhang Rang's disciple? Could it be because of Zhang Zhi?" He replied, "Oh?" He asked, "Why did Zhang Changshi send a disciple to see the general? Is there a secret?"

"There is no secret decree on the Holy Master, but Chang Shi Zhang has a 'secret letter'."

Xun Zhen was quite uneasy and asked, "What secret letter?"

"Zhang Changshi asked me for fifty million money."

Xun Zhen thought that Zhang Rang's letter was to ask Huangfu Song to wear small shoes for her, but she didn't expect it to be asking for a bribe.

"Zhang Changshi said in the letter: Knowing that I have obtained a lot from the thieves, I asked for 50 million private money."

"This this……."

Huangfu Song led his troops out to "seek thieves" for the Han family, but Zhang Rang sent someone to ask for bribes. This is too surprising and angry. You must know that just a few months ago, Wang Yuncai exposed Zhang Rang and Zhang Rang. The Yellow Turbans exchanged letters with each other. Zhang Rang was begging for mercy from the emperor at the time, but also asking for punishment. He didn't expect that the emperor would be fooled by the other side, and he blatantly asked Huangfu Song for bribes.

Xun Zhen thought, "Is this an idiot? Or is it an idiot?" Isn't this kind of action and behavior obviously inflicting hatred on himself? No wonder Yuan Shao killed all the eunuchs in the palace.

Knowing that Zhang Rang did not write to Huangfu Song because of Zhang Zhi, Xun Zhen felt relieved, recovered from his surprise, and said, "The general bleeds his blood to attack the thief, but Zhang Changshi asks for bribes. Also, it's really hateful.” At this time, there was no one else on the watchtower, only Huangfu Song and Xun Zhen, Huangfu Song's father, Huangfu, was famous for his loyalty to the party members, and Huangfu Song was also very kind to the party members and the gentry. Therefore, Xun Zhen can speak frankly without having to hide his thoughts.

Huangfu Song said: "This generation of eunuchs, the whole world knows their evil, and the emperor is lenient and reminiscent of the old, but he never bears to abandon them. Zhenzhi, although the Yellow Turbans are powerful, and the disease of scabies, this **** who has messed up the government is me. The big man's chronic disease! If Zhang and Zhao Zhu Huan are not eliminated, my big man will not be at peace. Even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion is quelled, I am afraid that there will be other disturbances in the future!"

"The general is wise." Xun Zhen paused, looked at Huangfu Song's face, and asked, "But then again, although Zhang and Zhao Zhuhuan are the ills of me, they have won the trust of the emperor. General, Zhang Chang The servant asks for fifty million money, this money?"

"I can't give it!"

Xun Zhen nodded and stopped talking. Huangfu Song didn't know that if he didn't give Zhang Rang the 50 million yuan, Zhang Rang would definitely tell the truth in the ears of the emperor, but if he gave the money, he would definitely be spurned by scholars all over the world. On the one hand, he was convicted of the emperor, and he might lose his official life and die. When the Han people have the same name, Huangfu Song would rather choose the former than the latter.

After talking about this matter, Huangfu Song turned the subject back and said, "That's why I told you just now that Zhenzhi, Qing comes from a famous family, and should know the trend of the world."

"General, please speak."

"You have just passed the year of the weak crown, and it is the time when the party is shackled. You have a bright future. I wonder what your plans are for your future?"

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "My future plan is either to enter the court as a man, or to ask Yimei County to be a thousand stone decree." I thought so in my heart, because I didn't know what Huangfu Song meant, but I couldn't say that. He said, "What are your plans for the future? Zhen hasn't thought so far. Zhen just wants to quickly put down the Yellow Turbans and return the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

Huangfu Song smiled and said: "'Let the people live and work in peace and contentment'. Good, good, well said. But Zhenzhi, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment? Is it enough to just pacify the Yellow Turbans?"

"Zhen stupid, please show me the general."

"There are no outsiders here, only you and me. I will tell you clearly."

"Yes."

"Zhenzhi, I'm very optimistic about you. In the battle of Xihua in Runan, I saw that you were in the front line to break thieves, and you were invincible and very fond of you. I said something at the time, do you know what it is?"

Xun Zhen thought: "I was killing the thief in front of me at that time, and I was not by your side, how could I know?" Respectfully replied: "I don't know."

"I said at the time: 'In the future, the person who will fight against the thieves of the Han Dynasty, is this son'?"

"Setting aside the thieves for the Han Dynasty?" Xun Zhen thought, "What is the meaning of this?"

Huangfu Song turned around and said to Xun Zhen: "The political situation in the DPRK is like this, you are young, you don't need to be involved in it. In the past, Ban Chao devoted himself to the army, and he said: 'A man has no other ambitions, and he should follow Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian to make contributions to the Western Regions. , in order to take the title of marquis', the Qiang people in the northern Xinjiang often make troubles, harm the people of the border county, and even disturb the northern kingdom. Zhenzhi, with your wisdom and courage, if you are in the frontier, you will surely be able to stabilize one side, and relieve the worries of the emperor, and the bottom, It will also enable the people of the North to live and work in peace and contentment.”

Xun Zhen had never thought of going to the frontier to become an official, and suddenly heard Huangfu Song's words, he didn't know what to say for a while, he also knew that Huangfu Song was for his own good, otherwise he would not have said this to him. Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he said in his heart: "If it is a matter of peace in the Central Plains, it can be done by making meritorious contributions to the frontiers and taking the title of marquis, but now?"

He has never been to northern Xinjiang, he does not know the customs and humanities, he may not speak the language very well, and he has no acquaintances. He has traveled thousands of miles to become an official, without the slightest foundation, even if there are Xu Zhong, Dian Wei, Liu Deng, Chen After waiting for others to help, but there are many gates in the north, each with its own power and interests, and there are many Qiang tribes, it may take a long time for only one to stand firm, and he remembered that Dong Zhuo's rebellion had not been many years, he hesitated for a while, He said, "I'm afraid that the talent is not enough, it is not enough to relieve the worries of the emperor, and it is not enough to make the people of the north live in peace."

"Zhenzhi, you know that I am from Anding, and you know that my family has been in charge of the gate for generations. It is quite prestigious in Liangzhou and Anding. There are still many old officials of my ancestor, my father, and my Congfu in Bian County. Officer, Wei general, if you want to go to the frontier to build your career, I will write to ask them to help you."

Huangfu Song's great-grandfather was a general of the Liao Dynasty, his grandfather was a commander of Fufeng, and his father was a prefect of Yanmen. From his father, Huangfugui, he was a famous general in the world. Like Huangfu Song's great-grandfather, he was also a general of the Liao Dynasty. The Huangfu clan may not be as famous as the Xun clan in the mainland, but they are very prestigious in the border areas. If you can get Huangfu Song's support and help, it can indeed speed up the speed of Xun Zhen's foothold in the borderlands. But even so, Xun Zhen still had no clue about this, he thought: "Xiliang's iron cavalry is famous all over the world, and the Qiang warriors are not afraid of death. If they can gain a firm foothold in Bian County, they can indeed form a strong team. Army, it's been a few years since Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, can I do it?" He knew that Huangfu Song cherished his talent, so he wanted him to stay away from the court, but he couldn't make up his mind for this kindness. accept.

Huangfu Song seemed to see his embarrassment and said with a smile: "Although the Yellow Turbans are over, Zhang Mancheng in Nanyang still has a lot of troops, and Zhangjiao in Jizhou has not yet been defeated. If you don't go to Jizhou, you will probably go to Jizhou, you don't have to answer me now, it won't be too late to say after the Yellow Turbans are completely pacified.”

"Yes." Xun Zhen said gratefully, "The general loves him so much, Zhen is frightened, and I don't know what to do in return."

"You don't need to report it to me. It doesn't matter whether you stay in the inner county, serve as a borderland, or enter the dynasty, no matter what, as long as you always remember to report to the emperor and Xia'an Limin, I will be satisfied." Huangfu Songke He is really a loyal minister. He knows that the emperor is stupid, or he would not persuade Xun Zhen to take up the post of Bianjun, but he is so loyal to the Han Dynasty. First of all, it is admirable, and secondly, it is not worth it. These words, he will not say to Huangfu Song. The two were chatting privately on the watchtower, unaware that twilight was approaching. Huangfu Song was the main general of the army. He was so busy with military affairs that he could not stay in the watchtower any longer. He went downstairs with Xunzhen and saw the people in the county returning from outside the county in groups. He vaguely saw that the leader was Wu Zhu, Huangfu. Song stepped down and sighed: "Being an official, benefiting the people, after leaving office, he will be missed by the people, build a shrine to pray, be famous for later generations, and be praised by the world. This is how an official should be."

Xun Zhen glanced at him and said, "Yes." Like Dong'e, Boping also had a temple of prostitution. Dong'an Temple worships a stone man, while Boping's Temple worships Liu Yu. Liu Yu once served as the commander in Boping, "governance is upright and flat, noble and simple, no thieves in the territory, no disasters, when the county is bordered by locusts, and the border of Boping cannot fly through", which is deeply loved by the people. Therefore, after leaving office, he was worshipped by the common people.

The East County has been settled, and Huangfu Song is stationed in Boping, waiting for the will of the DPRK.

In mid-June, the imperial decree came, ordering Huangfu Song to discuss Jizhou. Following this decree, there were also several decrees for rewarding merit and promotion. Xun Zhen was named among them. To his surprise, he was promoted as the Sima of the Thousand Stones.
