Huangfu Song led his troops to attack the two cities of Fuping and Lingzhou, and captured them in one fell swoop.
There were many factors working together, and the Huangfu family originally had a large number of fans in Liangzhou.
Although the soldiers guarding the city were all Dong Zhuo's men, the city gate was opened to Huangfu Song in less than two hours.
Worthy of being a veteran who can go down in history, Huangfu Song took things seriously and taught Dong Zhuo a real lesson.
The price is the entire Beidi County and half of Liangzhou.
Beidi is the most fertile and largest county in Liangzhou. Taking Beidi is equivalent to breaking one of Dong Zhuo's legs.
When Dong Zhuo asked Hua Xiong to garrison the Northland, it was because he paid enough attention to the Northland.
After taking Beidi, Huangfu Song immediately photographed his nephew Huangfu Li and rushed to Hedong County with a greeting card to ask for an audience with Wei Cheng.
Huangfu Li is recorded in the history books, saying that this person has the talent of specialization. The so-called specialization means that he has the ability to deal with problems alone.
It may not seem like a compliment, but it is an affirmation of talent.
Anyi County.
Huangfu Li looked at the huge copper bell in the central square and the huge round dial with curiosity in his eyes.
The people accompanying him were the only sons of his second uncle Wei Min, Wei Xun and Wei Zian who had appeared at the Lujiang Banquet.
(Wei Xun: Appears in Chapter 54.)
"Brother Zhengping, in front of you is the most famous Haokelai restaurant in Hedong. It happens to be noon, let's go eat and chat."
Wei Xun and Huangfu Li were old acquaintances. They studied under Lu Zhi together and had a good relationship.
Wei Xun was three years younger than Huangfu Li, and he was from the Wei family in Hedong. When he was studying in Luoyang, he was well cared for by Huangfu Li.
"Zian, can this clock tower really accurately predict the time?"
Wei Xun was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "It's not a prediction, but it has been following the time. I don't understand the specific principle. When I see my second brother later, you can ask for advice in person."
When Huangfu Li heard this, he nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "I haven't been to Hedong for a few years. When I came here this time, I found that Hedong has changed a lot. In terms of prosperity, it is not inferior to Luodu and Chang'an at all."
Wei Xun also said with emotion: "All this is thanks to my second brother. You don't know, my second brother has many abilities. He is not only a talent for governing the world, but also... uh, hahaha
, let’s go, let’s take you to drink, good wine!”
Huangfu Li's expression changed, and he pondered over and over again the meaning of 'talent in governing the world'.
The two of them walked to Haoke Lai Restaurant and asked for a seat on the second floor.
"Two gentlemen, we have freshly slaughtered beef available today. The kitchen has recommended some related dishes. Do you want to taste it?"
Huangfu Li looked up at the boy and asked in surprise: "Cows are very important for accumulating energy. Now that spring plowing is about to begin, you still dare to kill the cattle for meat?"
The boy was stunned.
Still Wei Xun said with a smile: "Brother Zhengping, don't question him. Eating beef is not a rare thing in Hedong. Basically, a batch of beef enters the sheep market for sale every ten days. Of course, that is on the premise that it does not affect spring plowing.
.”
"this……"
Huangfu Li couldn't believe it for a moment. After all, no matter which dynasty it was, cattle were an important productivity and directly affected the harvest of the whole year.
In many places, there are many cases where the harvest of that year was directly cut in half because there were not enough cattle.
One person and one ox can plow twenty or thirty acres of land in a day.
And if one person has a hoe, he may not be able to dig out ten acres of land even if he works to death.
Spring plowing is competing with God for food. If you miss the season, you won't be able to grow much food after your land is plowed.
In later generations, until the 1980s and 1990s, there were still special holidays for spring plowing and autumn harvest.
"Okay, okay, now that you're in Anyi, just do as the Romans do... Dude, here are two pounds of cooked beef, five-spice. You can decide on the other side dishes, and Fenjiu for wine." Wei Xun ordered with familiarity.
The boy nodded repeatedly. When he heard that he wanted Fenjiu, he said with a grimace: "Sir, you should know that we all need the good wine from Hedong..."
"Food stamps, right?" Wei Xun took out a stack of food stamps. This was the entertainment fee given by the Goodwill Hall. He was so generous today and could reimburse it later. Otherwise, Fenjiu and beef were so expensive, he wouldn't dare to order so much.
.
When the boy saw that he not only had food stamps but also meat stamps, his face suddenly burst into laughter.
"Okay, two pounds of five-spice beef and a pot of Fenjiu. Please wait a moment, sir. The food and wine will be delivered shortly."
Wei Xun nodded slightly.
He looked up at Huangfu Li and said with a smile: "The Fenjiu brewed by my second brother is excellent. Brother Zhengping always prides himself on being a good drinker, but you'd better take it easy today. If you fall down after drinking, I won't be able to carry it."
Move you."
Huangfu Li no longer bothered about eating beef. Hearing Wei Xun make fun of his drinking capacity, he said funnyly: "You are the only one who can drink me down?"
Wei Xun laughed and said: "Of course I can't, but this wine is very intoxicating. I can only drink three glasses at most. If I drink more, I won't be able to stand still."
"Three cups?"
Huangfu Li picked up the small wine glass on the table and laughed loudly: "With a glass like this, it's not too much to say that I won't get drunk after a thousand cups."
"Hehehe, you will know in a moment that what I said is true."
Wei Xun chuckled, looking like he was waiting for a good show.
At this time, several people came up from the corner of the stairs.
Wei Xun raised his eyes and couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He said to Huangfu Li: "Brother Zhengping, please sit down for a while. I met an acquaintance and went over to say hello."
When Huangfu Li heard this, he looked back curiously, his eyes widening instantly.
"Huang Xu!"
"Boss!"
That's right, the people who came were none other than Huang Xu, Xu Shu, Shi Tao and Tai Shi Ci.
Huang Xu looked at everyone with strange eyes, feeling incomprehensible. What happened today? Why did so many old friends suddenly appear?
The reason why he and Huangfu Li met was when they were pacifying the Qiang people in Liangzhou.
Huangfu Li was his immediate superior at that time. Because of Huang Xu's heroic performance on the battlefield, Huangfu Li recommended him to be a junior colonel.
I didn't want someone above to start a political struggle with Huangfu Song, and deliberately suppressed him, which indirectly affected him.
Later, Huangfu Song was demoted to Chang'an to guard the imperial mausoleum, Huangfu Li was also dismissed, and Huang Xu left without saying goodbye in despair.
"Instructor Huang, brother Zhengping, do you know each other?" Wei Xun was no stranger to Huang Xu. He had asked Huang Xu for his archery skills, and the two of them were considered good friends.
Huang Xu stepped forward and hugged Huangfu Li, patting Huangfu Li's generous back with both hands.
Huangfu Li didn't suffer any loss and hugged Huang Xu tightly, as if he wanted to break his ribs.
The two were secretly competing, and everyone else was looking at each other. Could this be the legendary love and death?
"You brat, why did you leave without saying goodbye that day? As I said, no matter what happens to my uncle, I will not break his promise when I promise you the military rank."
"Boss, you can't blame me. The expressions of those gelded dogs are so disgusting. I feel bad when I think of having to obey their arrangements in the future."
Huangfu Li let go of his hand, and Huang Xu also took a step back.
The two looked at each other, stretched out their right hands at the same time, held them together in the air, and laughed heartily.
