One hundred and fortieth chapters Zhao'an before the battle
Liu Xiang stationed his horse in front of the Han camp, waiting for the Yellow Turban army in the city to move, so that he would not send his cavalry to attack the camp.
Coming here with great fanfare is to defeat Huangfu Song's plan. The decisive step must be done by the Yellow Turban Army.
However, Zhang Bao showed no action for a long time, which made Liu Xiang curse. Are all the Zhang brothers mentally ill?
Huangfu Song came out of the camp with hundreds of people. These people included his own personal guards and the defeated generals of the Northern Army. The captain of the third battalion did not dare to return to the capital. He took his own personal soldiers and subordinates to him.
, I hope he can help explain a few words and reduce the guilt.
This group of people was very powerful, but unfortunately their number was too small, so they kept them around as bodyguards. If the enemy attacked, they could at least fight their way back to the camp with their own safety.
The group came to the Anping military formation and stopped advancing one hundred and fifty steps away.
Liu Xiang smiled and met his colleagues. Ever since he had a waist-loaded crossbow, he always wanted to snipe and kill enemy generals. The distance was neither far nor close. The waist-loaded crossbow could reach him, but he couldn't kill him.
Huangfu Song was not a good person either. He must have thought about sniping enemy generals.
Be careful, there is a big yellow crossbow among the Forbidden Army. It is said that it can shoot three hundred steps.
Regrettably, Liu Xiang has never seen the actual object. Among the items captured by the Northern Army, there were only two hundred waist-triggered crossbows, and there was no trace of the big yellow crossbow.
Liu Xiang and the other guards carefully observed the enemy on the other side and were on alert for the enemy's sniping movements.
Huangfu Song shouted: "Liu Yicheng, if you dare to speak face to face, I can go to your majesty and grant him the title of general."
It is difficult for a person's voice to carry so far. The guards around him shouted in unison to hear it clearly.
When Liu Xiang heard the "face-to-face talk", he wanted to say no, let's just start a fight.
But when he heard "Your Majesty", he hesitated. The change of identity was very important. With the name of a bandit, it would be difficult for him to go far. Each dynasty and each generation has its own set of moral standards. In modern terms,
Say, this is mainstream culture and universal values.
If he just wants to defend his territory and surrender to the winner in the end, he doesn't have to care about these things. But if he wants to go further and participate in the game of world domination, he must enter the circle of mainstream culture and make himself in line with the current world.
Moral standards must be recognized by the majority of people.
He had to put on the cloak of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness for himself, and the most effective way to enter the circle of nobles was an edict from His Majesty the Emperor. At this time, the majesty of the Han Dynasty has not completely collapsed, so it is still useful.
He followed Liu Yan's path to obtain the identity of the clan, followed Zhao Zhong's path to get his identity recognized by Emperor Ling, and now Huangfu Song has come to his door, which is related to the certification of the court.
We need to have a good talk.
The two sides agreed that each would bring ten guards and talk face to face in front of the two armies.
Liu Xiang looked at Zhao Yun and Shi A and said, "I have the advantage, so I went to the appointment with confidence."
Huangfu Song is about fifty years old, about the same age as Dong Zhuo, but more energetic than Fatty Dong. He is seven feet six, seven inches tall. He wears a red robe, a bright armor coat, square-toed combat boots, and a cast-iron helmet.
A four-foot-long sword hangs from the leather belt around his waist.
The two met in worship. Liu Xiang took the Hu bed (very similar to a modern Mazar) and asked Huangfu Song to sit down and talk.
You can sit on the bed with your feet hanging down, which is much better than sitting on your knees in the wild. In the cold winter months, kneeling in the wild and talking is asking for sin.
After sitting down, Huangfu Song began to praise: "You can use your troops according to the circumstances, your horses can fly freely, and you can drive your cavalry like wind and lightning. Among the younger generation, you are the leader."
Praise when you open your mouth, and the result is not small.
Liu Xiang said with a smile: "Yi Zhengong has been praised too much. I have longed for the style of Huo Qiaoqi since I was a child. Especially the battle of Hexi, where more than ten thousand fine cavalry fought for more than a thousand miles in six days and defeated the Five Kingdoms of the Xiongnu. It is fascinating."
Huangfu Song also continued his conversation and sighed: "Who of our generation does not yearn for the demeanor of a champion? A man who sacrifices his life on the battlefield and fights for his country is a true hero." The topic changed and he asked: "I heard that Yicheng is
After Changsha is crowned king?"
Not only was there something in the words, but there was also a lot of twists and turns. Liu Xiang felt that Zhen Yi had been in Luoyang for such a long time, so he should have taken care of Liu Yan, so he answered: "I am a member of the clan, and I never lie. You can find it in the name book."
Huangfu Song was dumbfounded. He originally thought he was a member of the Han clan with a humble background, but he still thought that for the sake of the overall situation, he closed his eyes and accepted this person's nonsense.
The result is that you are in a clan with a small name and a clear pedigree, so why are you rebelling?
His head was buzzing, and he wanted to jump up and slap this man in the mouth. The Yellow Turban rebels are your old Liu family. I am here to suppress the rebellion of your Old Liu family. You and the Yellow Turban thieves will beat me together.
Is there any heavenly principle?
You are a coward, are you doing this for human affairs?
His veins popped out and his head felt like he had been hit by a hammer. It took him a long time to recover.
He asked with confusion on his face: "Why raise an army?"
"I want to clean up the emperor's side. I can't bear the harsh government and exploitation, the people are in dire straits, the world is in chaos, and the misery is hanging over me."
Huangfu Song sighed and advised earnestly: "The world is already in chaos, why don't you stop your activities and cultivate yourself?"
Liu Xiang pointed to the increasingly restless Yellow Turbans on the city wall: "How to cultivate themselves? Let them starve to death obediently?"
Huangfu Song gave a wry smile and changed the subject: "I would like to express my condolences to Your Majesty and grant you a reward. How about we stop the war and stop the war?"
"Effectively lead Youzhou, promote filial piety and integrity, and plan for officials, otherwise there will be no discussion."
Promoting filial piety and honesty can win over a large number of children from poor families. Being appointed as an accounting official is not a specific official position, but a tax collection system, including the right to mint coins. These rights must be fought for.
As for the issue of paying taxes, the world is in such chaos that I can’t transport it out. If you have the ability, you can collect it yourself. The world will be in chaos within a few years, and if you delay it for a few years, you won’t have to pay taxes.
"Okay." Huangfusong agreed happily.
Liu Xiang pointed to the Han army's camp and said: "I heard that when seniors meet their juniors, they want to give some greeting gifts. Give them to me as a gift to the soldiers and horses in the camp."
Huangfu Song agreed so happily. He had not forgotten that there were still more than 70,000 Han troops one or two hundred miles south. If Huangfu Song went back on his word, he would at least get some tangible benefits.
Huangfu Song said angrily and mockingly: "When the younger generation pays homage to the elders, they must be prepared to bow."
"So our army did not launch an attack. Isn't Mr. Yi Zhen dissatisfied with this gift?"
Huangfu Song was so angry that he was a scoundrel, but his appearance was inferior to others. Just when he was thinking hard about how to refuse, he heard Liu Xiang say quietly: "Can't Lord Yi Zhen give them a way to survive? The two armies are attacking.
They will surely die."
Yes, the defeat has been decided, and the Yellow Turbans will attack at any time. It is difficult to protect these people. Once the war breaks out, the Zhao'an issue will naturally be cancelled.
well!
There is no room for rejection.
"Can."
Liu Xiang smiled, looked at Huangfu Song's black horse, and said, "I have something else to ask of you."
Huangfu Song laughed heartily and said boldly: "The horse is famous in Dawan and has a black tail on the snow. Yicheng likes it, so I'll give it to you."
Liu Xiang shook his head and said with a smile: "I want all the horses."
If you ride on horseback, you can find the army in one day, and you can walk for at least two or three days. You can do a lot of things in this time difference. The Zhang brothers have a hole in their heads. They have to be careful about Zhang Bao's evil intentions.
In order to prevent Huangfu Song from taking advantage of the chaos to counterattack, the horse must be left behind.
Huangfusong pondered for a while, guessed Liu Xiang's intention, and nodded.
"What else do you want?"
Liu Xiang pointedly said: "I am satisfied with my righteousness and uprightness. If the imperial army returns, I am willing to raise troops to help suppress the bandits."
Huangfu Song took a deep look at Liu Xiang, turned around and ordered: "Dismount and order the camp to change flags."
With this order, even if the command of the troops and horses is transferred to the Yellow Turban Army, no matter who the military power belongs to, they cannot disarm.
Huangfu Song was sure that the benefits offered would whet Liu Xiang's appetite, and he handed over the military power without hesitation.
The military symbols, seals and letters were handed over one by one, and the yellow books and account books were handed over one by one, and the camp belonged to the Anping Army.
Naturally, a group of high-ranking generals could not listen to Liu Xiang, so they followed Huangfu Song south and walked neatly.
Now, it's Liu Xiang's turn to deal with the Yellow Turban Army. I hope Zhang Bao understands the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold. I don't know if his reputation as a divine envoy has any influence.
Huangfu Song left the bait, what will happen next?
You have to think about the most vicious thoughts of famous generals, because every famous general walked over by walking on corpses.
A soldier never tires of deceit.
Sun Tzu emphasized this truth at the beginning of his article, and all the art of war are based on this sentence.
Liu Xiang understood this truth, but Zhang Bao had not left the city for a long time, so a confrontation was not an option. He was fighting with a time lag and could not tolerate any delay.
It takes time to wipe out an army of more than 10,000 people. If we don't act quickly, the Han army can turn back at any time.
The weather is getting colder and colder. If the Anping Army is still running around in the wild, a large number of horses will freeze to death. If they withdraw, the barrier of the Yellow Turban Army will be gone. So is he sending troops here for tourism?
He took four thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of horses, turned around and went back? Did he have nothing to do?
These more than 10,000 people are not a problem at all. The worst thing is that if they don't exist, Liu Xiang can escape at any time.
If you get it, you will make a profit. If you don't get it, you will be defeated. Liu Xiang came to the rescue. As long as the goal is achieved.
What he cared about most was Zhao'an, and he really hoped that Huangfu Song could keep his promise.
He couldn't refuse the bait of Zhao'an. If it succeeded, it would save a lot of effort and the Anping army would die a lot less.
The Yellow Turbans were in commotion in the city, the people in the camp outside the city were restless, and the cavalry of the Anping Army were ready to run away at any time.
